Cheddar and Sour Cream Balls

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Appetizers

Ingredients

  • Filling:
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/8 cup green onion, finely chopped
  • 1/8 cup dill, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • Juice from half a lemon
  • Coating:
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 9oz Box of Triscuits

Directions

  1. In a food processor, or by hand, crush 1/2 a box of Triscuits. Set aside.

  2. Combine all of the filling ingredients in a large bowl. Pinch off bite sized balls of filling and roll between your hands (about 1 oz each). Roll the balls in the crushed Triscuit mixture, then coat it in beaten egg, then again in Triscuit mixture.

  3. Heat a sauce pan of vegetable oil to 350˚F. Line a tray with paper towel to drain the fried bites. Fry each bite until Triscuit coating turns a light brown, about 45 seconds. If they’re fried too long, the cheese filling will escape and you’ll be left with a sad shell of a former cheese bite.

  4. Garnish with more chopped dill and a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
