🍽 Preparation Steps

- Form the balls: Use your hands to roll the mixture into small, compact balls—ensuring they hold together well.
- Boil: Bring water to a gentle boil in a saucepan. Gently drop the cheese balls in, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook thoroughly: Once they float (after about 5–7 minutes), let them cook for an extra 1–2 minutes for full doneness. bhg.com+15dishmagazine.com+15facebook.com+15
