Ingredients
3
cups
Macaroni and Cheese
homemade or store-bought
2
cups
Vegetable Oil
or more, as needed
2
Eggs
beaten
1 1/2
cups
Panko Breadcrumbs
2
tablespoons
Chives
chopped fresh
Instructions
Place macaroni and cheese into the refrigerator until firm, about 3-4 hours.
Heat vegetable oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat.
Using a small cookie scoop, roll macaroni and cheese into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch balls, forming about 12.
Working one at a time, dip balls into eggs, then dredge in Panko, pressing to coat.
Working in batches, add balls to the Dutch oven and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.
