Cheese balls made from crab sticks

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make cheese balls from crab sticks? Very simple and quite fast. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Choose crab sticks with a whiter, brighter red top, then the appetizer will turn out just as bright and expressive. Processed cheese needs semi-solid “Druzhba” or “Yantar”, which can be grated. Large, selected eggs are needed. If the eggs are small, take 3 pieces.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the crab sticks on a fine grater. To make it easier to grate the crab sticks, first place them in the freezer for 20 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate the hard cheese on a fine grater. The cheese can be anything. The main thing is that it is tasty, fresh and aromatic. I have an ordinary Russian one.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the processed cheese in the freezer for 20 minutes. Then grate on a fine grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Hard boil the eggs, cool and peel. Then grate on a fine grater. How to boil hard-boiled eggs? To prevent eggs from cracking during cooking, place them in cold water and cook over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. The shell will be better cleaned from a sharp temperature change.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a bowl, combine hard and processed cheese, grated eggs and garlic cloves passed through a press. Season everything with mayonnaise and mix until smooth. The mass should be dense, not fall apart when forming balls and slightly sticky.

7. STEP 7

   

   Using wet hands, form small dense balls the size of a walnut or slightly larger from the resulting mass.

8. STEP 8

   

   Roll the resulting balls in shavings of crab sticks. The appetizer will immediately take on an elegant, bright look. If you prepare the appetizer in advance, cover it with a bowl to prevent it from getting too dry and put it in the refrigerator.

9. STEP 9

   

   Transfer the cheese appetizer with crab sticks to a serving plate and garnish with herbs. And you can serve immediately or keep in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Bon appetit!

Thank you for the recipe for crab stick cheese balls, it’s simply wonderful! It seems like everything is very simple, but how delicious it turns out! You can't think of anything better for the holiday table from what you have on hand. I also tried adding curd cheese without mixing it with other cheeses, it turned out very tender, such balls just melted in your mouth. Before serving, I froze them slightly to keep their shape.

I am delighted with this wonderful recipe, it’s very simple, tasty and original. And how does it look? Mmm, lunch. I really liked that the explanation of the preparation is very clear and even visual. Very fast, simple and tasty) But here there is my favorite ingredient - cheese, I’m wondering if I can try a different type of cheese? I agree with the author, food often gets stale, but what to do with it doesn’t always come to mind, so you throw out almost half of it. But this recipe saved my refrigerator, but I can also do it very quickly feed your family. I advise everyone to try cooking it. Good luck) Bon appetit

They look beautiful and bright on the holiday table. Delicious. There weren't enough crab sticks, so I decided to finely chop the dill and make a few pieces with dill. The experiment was a success. Thanks for the recipe.
