Cheesy cheese balls !

These cheesy cheese balls are fun to make. I don't really bake and think it's too messy but these were surprisingly easy and didn't create as big of a mess as I thought it would :P.  These are a perfect addition to a tea party or iftar :)

Here what you need:

For the dry ingredients:

2 cups of flour, 1 tbsp white sugar, 1.5 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and pinch of salt. Mix these together with a spatula.

You will also need a packet of shredded cheese. I like using this 4 cheese Mexican blend because it has montrey jack , chedder, salsa and asadero cheeses.

Pre-heat your oven to 350. While your oven is heating up prepare your mixture by combining 9 tbsp cold butter and 2.5 cups of cheese to the flour. Combine together. I don't have an automatic mixture so I just used my hands and a spatula to make sure everything is well incorporated. After the butter has broken up in little pieces your mixture is prepared.

In a seperate bowl whisk together 1 egg with 1 cup of heavy cream. Add this slowly to the flour mixture while mixing it with a spatula or your hands ! Once all the ingredients are combined mold the dough into balls.

Line them up on a baking dish. Brush the top with egg wash ( 1 egg with a touch of milk ) on top of balls. If you can add more cheese on top but I left mine plain. Set in the oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes.

Here is the finished product ! So cheesy and delicious. This recipe is super flexible because you can pretty much add anything you want to the flour mixture like ground beef, nuts, veggies, etc.

Bon appetit !
