Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups/150g flour
  • 1 1/4 cups/150g finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup/110g melted butter plus more if needed

Instructions

  • Mix the flour in a bowl with the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and dry mustard.
  • Stir in the melted butter so the mixture forms crumbs. Kneading with your hands, press dough into balls the size of small walnuts, (about a half tablespoon).
  • If the mixture is very dry and crumbly, add a bit more melted butter.
  • Set the balls on a buttered baking sheet and chill about 15 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C.
  • Bake the cheese balls in the oven until browned, 35 to 45 minutes. Test for doneness by cutting into a ball; it should not be doughy in the center.
  • Transfer the cheese balls to a rack to cool. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week, or frozen for up to 3 months.
