10 Holiday Appetizers You Need This Season

Updated: Dec 10, 2020


 

I've teamed up with 9 of my favorite food bloggers to bring you 10 holiday appetizers that you need in your life! You're sure to find something you and your family will enjoy on this list. Be sure to scroll down to see all of the other bloggers' apps!


My contribution to this tasty round up are my Fried Mac n Cheese Bites. The idea for these came from trying to reinvent my Thanksgiving leftovers. After the Thanksgiving sandwiches, quesadillas & crunchwraps, I still had mac n cheese on my hands. So why not make little balls and fry them up?


And man oh man are they tasty!

 
 

Fried Mac n Cheese Bites


Ingredients:

  • 3-4 cups leftover mac n cheese

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 3 cups frying oil (vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil will do)

  • Flaky sea salt to finish

Method:

  • Beat eggs in a small bowl

  • Combine panko breadcrumbs and seasoning in a small bowl

  • Start with cold mac n cheese, a thicker cheese sauce will be best for this recipe

  • Roughly chop the mac n cheese

  • Using a cookie or ice cream scoop, tightly pack a scoop of mac n cheese into a ball

  • Gently dip in egg mixture and then panko mixture

  • Place on a plate and freeze for at least 30 minutes

  • Heat frying oil in a small saucepan to 350 degrees

  • Fry in batches as needed until golden brown

  • Transfer to paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt
