My husband can’t resist these balls – he devours the whole tray solo!

### 4. **Bake or Fry**
– **To bake:** Place balls on a parchment-lined tray and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and crispy.

## 🔥 Pro Tips

– Want extra gooey centers? Tuck a small cube of cheese inside each ball before rolling.
– Add chopped jalapeños or sun-dried tomatoes for a gourmet touch.
– Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, spicy mayo, garlic aioli, or marinara.
– Freeze uncooked balls for later—just pop them in the oven straight from the freezer!

## 😍 Why They’re Hubby-Approved

I don’t even get the chance to serve these on a fancy platter anymore. The moment they’re out of the oven, my husband is already hovering—and somehow, without fail, **the entire tray disappears** before anyone else gets a second helping.

They’re crispy, cheesy, crave-worthy little bites of heaven—and trust me, **you’ll want to make a double batch.**
