Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine mozzarella and Parmesan until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper.
Form the cheese mixture into golf ball-sized bites.
Dip each bite into the egg mixture, then roll in panko breadcrumbs to coat.
Place the coated bites on the baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crunch, broil the bites for an additional 1–2 minutes at the end.
Serve with marinara sauce, ranch, or garlic aioli for dipping.

Make-ahead tip: Prep the bites and refrigerate until ready to bake.
