Ingredients
  

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg, beaten

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)

Cooking oil spray (or oil for frying)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking oil.

    Mix Cheeses: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined.

      Add Seasonings: Stir in the chopped parsley, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.

        Form Bites: Using your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture. Roll it into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, making about 12-15 bites.

          Coat with Egg and Breadcrumbs: Dip each cheese ball into the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Place them back on the baking sheet.

            Spray and Bake: Lightly spray the tops of the cheese bites with cooking oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm with marinara sauce or eaten as is for a delightful cheesy treat!
