Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Deep-Fried Stuffing Balls.
Step 1
Begin by preparing your breading station: in a shallow bowl, whisk together flour, poultry seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper for a flavorful coating.
Step 2
In another bowl, blend eggs and milk until smooth, creating a rich dip.
Step 3
For the final bowl, combine seasoned bread crumbs with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper, adding a delightful crunch.
Step 4
Now, take about 2 tablespoons of your prepared stuffing and roll it into a ball with your hands, aiming for about 12 evenly sized morsels.
Step 5
Dredge each ball in the flour mixture, ensuring to shake off any excess.
Step 6
Next, immerse each ball in the egg mixture, coating it thoroughly.
Step 7
Finally, roll the balls in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure they are fully covered.
Step 8
Allow the coated balls to rest on a plate for a few minutes, letting the coating adhere nicely.
Step 9
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to a sizzling 350°F (175°C).
Step 10
Carefully lower 4 to 5 stuffing balls into the hot oil, frying them until they achieve a golden brown hue on all sides, which should take about 4 minutes.
Step 11
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the crispy delights to a paper towel-lined plate, allowing them to drain any excess oil.
Step 12
Repeat this process with the remaining stuffing balls, and soon you'll have a batch of irresistible, golden treats ready to be enjoyed.
