Parmesan Cheese Puffs recipe

20 servings

2 egg whites

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

5 cups oil for deep frying

Heat oil in a heavy pot or deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a medium glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until they just hold a stiff peak.

Fold in Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.

Form level teaspoons of batter into balls.

Fry balls a few at a time, turning once until crisp and golden.

Using a slotted spoon, remove puffs from oil and place onto paper towels to drain.
