Consulting chef Jeff Weiss
Dough:
8 ounces light cheddar cheese, grated (we like Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp
Reduced Fat 2% Milk brand)
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg white
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup roughly chopped dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 400 . Place all ingredients, except dried cranberries, in
a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process about 10 seconds, or
just until ingredients form a dough. Transfer to a mixing bowl, then fold
in cranberries. Form into 1-inch balls and set aside.
Coating:
1 large egg white
2 teaspoons water
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/4 cups roasted, salted pepitas (pumpkin seeds with shells removed),
ground in a food processor
In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and water. Put flour and ground
pepitas in two other separate bowls. Dip each cheese ball into flour, then
egg mixture, then ground pepitas. Place on a nonstick baking sheet and
bake 12 minutes.
