Deep-fried cheese parcels

Side dish

Serves: Makes 30

Cooking Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

125g cream cheese
80g goat’s cheese
125ml (½ cup) Parmesan, finely grated
15ml (1 tbsp) fresh chives, chopped
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
30 wonton wrappers
1 large egg white, for brushing
oil, for deep-frying

Instructions

Combine the cream cheese, goat’s cheese and Parmesan. Add the chives and season with pepper.

Lay the wonton wrappers on a flat surface and brush with the egg white.

Place 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture in the middle of each wrapper. Bring all four corners of each wrapper to meet in the middle and pinch the edges to seal. Make sure all the edges are sealed otherwise the cheese will seep out during cooking.

Heat the oil in a large, deep saucepan. Deep-fry the wrappers in small batches until golden brown, about 2 – 3 minutes. Drain on paper towel and serve hot.
