Certainly! Frankfurter balls are a delicious appetizer or snack. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 package (about 10 ounces) of frankfurters (also known as hot dogs)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Begin by finely chopping the frankfurters into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped frankfurters, breadcrumbs, grated cheese, chopped onions, chopped bell peppers, chopped parsley, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about the size of golf balls. You can adjust the size according to your preference.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the frankfurter balls into the oil, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.
- Fry the balls until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the frankfurter balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are!
These frankfurter balls are crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside, making them a perfect appetizer for any occasion. Enjoy!
