Fried Mac 'n' Cheese Balls

Step 1

Using a small ice cream scoop or a teaspoon, shape macaroni and cheese into 1-inch balls and place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, beat egg and water. In another shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, and pepper.

Step 3

In a deep saucepan over medium heat, heat oil until hot.

Step 4

Dip frozen balls into egg wash then roll in bread crumbs. In small batches, fry balls 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and center is hot. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and serve immediately.
