Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cooked beef (shredded or finely chopped)
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked beef, cream cheese, and prepared horseradish. Mix well until the filling is evenly combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Shape the filling into small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter). You should get about 18-20 bonbons.
Set up a breading station with three bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and pour the breadcrumbs into the third bowl.
Roll each bonbon first in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Make sure each ball is fully coated for a crispy crust.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 180°C (350°F). Ensure the pot is large enough to prevent overcrowding during frying.
Carefully add a few bonbons to the hot oil and fry in batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the bonbons from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining bonbons until all are fried.
Serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice (e.g., garlic aioli or horseradish sauce) as an appetizer or snack.
