Here's yet another Pittsburgh recipe for a cheese appetizer. This one was by late Mayor Dick Caliguiri and is positively delicious! Crisp and melty and cheesey. Yum.
Ingredients:
3 lbs. ricotta cheese
1 lb mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 c. italian breadcrumbs
1/4 c. freshly grated parmesan cheese, lightly packed
1 t. poultry seasoning
italian breadcrumbs for dredging
canola oil
Directions:
1. Mix ricotta with everything up to and including the poultry seasoning. Chill in fridge at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Roll into 1 inch balls and then roll in the rest of the breadcrumbs.
3. Chill another 1/2 hour before cooking (or overnight).
4. In skillet, fry balls over medium heat in oil until golden brown. Drain and serve.
