Rimfire Cheese Balls Recipes

RIMFIRE CHEESE BALLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine cheeses and curry powder.
• Add at least enough curry powder to turn the mixture a pale yellow'eggy' colour- and more if you want it to taste really hot.
• Beat until well combined.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the paprika onto a plate or chopping board.
• Take half of the cheese mixture and roll it into a ball.
• Now roll the ball in the paprika until well covered.
• Wash and dry hands and repeat with the rest of the cheese mixture.
• Place cheese balls into a plastic box, cover with a lid and refrigerate until cold.
• Serve with water biscuits (cheese crackers).

MUMMY-SHAPED CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• Cut a strip out on each side of the first cheese ball to create the mummy's body and arms. Cut 2 thick strips out of the second cheese ball to create the legs and head. Arrange on the platter and flatten a bit with your hand.
• Beat cream cheese and milk until smooth. Prepare a pastry bag with a basket weave tip and pipe mixture over the entire mummy. Leave one or two longer lines of piped cheese mix, as if the mummy is coming undone.
• Add two whole peppercorns for the eyes. Add the pepper slice for the mouth. Serve with crackers.

HALLOUMI CHEESE BALLS

Steps:

• Mix the grated Halloumi with the mint and the beaten eggs and set aside.
• Mix the flour with salt, combine with the oil and water until it.
• becomes a soft dough.
• If needed add more water.
• Roll out the dough until it is sufficiently thin, then cut into circles approximately 75mm/3 in across.
• Brush each piece with beaten egg, and add a spoonful of filling.
• Fold over the dough so as to enclose the filling and press the edges until they are sealed.
• Finally, deep fry them in very hot oil until golden brown.

FRIED CHEESE BALLS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.
• Pour bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Cheddar cheese into 3 separate piles on the prepared baking sheet. Combine milk and egg in a bowl and stir until well combined.
• Roll cream cheese into 1-inch balls. Split each ball in half and place sharp Cheddar inside of cheese ball; put it back together and shape cream cheese around the Cheddar cheese. Roll it in Parmesan and Cheddar cheeses until the outside is completely covered. Dip in the milk mixture and roll in bread crumbs until completely covered. Repeat with remaining cream cheese balls.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drop cheese balls in the hot oil and allow to get brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
