- Take a spoon or your hand and scoop a good amount of cheese mixture. Roll it into a ball.
- Take the uncooked cheese ball and dip it in the egg.

- Repeat the process until you have a good batch of cheese balls ready to go.

- Put the cheese balls onto paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Let them cool a little before enjoying them.
