Jo Ann Kester






List of Ingredients



• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, finely grated
  
• 1/2 cup flour
  
• 2 egg whites, beaten stiff
  
• 1 cup coarsely ground blanched almonds
  
• 1-1/2 cups vegetable oil
  






Instructions



1. Place the cheese and flour in a large bowl and mix them together. Add the egg whites and gently fold them into the cheese and flour mixture so that a dough is formed.
   
   
2. Spread the ground almonds on a sheet of waxed paper. Roll the dough into 18 individual balls; then roll each ball in the almonds so that it is completely coated.
   
   
3. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until it is hot. Fry the cheese balls until they are browned on both sides. Serve hot.
