How to make Tasty and Quick Parmesan Balls
In a large bowl, mix the egg whites with the grated parmesan using a fork, kneading well until a well-combined dough forms.
Next, with the palms of your hands, form balls weighing about 0.35 oz each.
At this point, put the seeds in a small bowl and coat all the balls.
As the last step, transfer all the balls to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 355°F for about 15 minutes.
Storage of Tasty and Quick Parmesan Balls
My advice is to consume the Tasty and Quick Parmesan Balls the same day. I do not recommend freezing them.
Advice and Variations
The parmesan balls can be prepared a couple of hours in advance. If you prefer, you can enrich them by adding aromatic herbs, such as a pinch of curry or nutmeg.
