Cheese Balls with Toasted Bread Crumbs

Occasionally I indulge in one of my childhood favorite toppings: Toasted Bread Crumbs with powdered sugar drizzled over with melted butter. Toasted bread crumbs are great variety of dishes, just to name a few : sprinkle bread crumbs  on pasta, rolled potato noodles, pierogy, cauliflower and also on cheese balls.
Toasting the bread crumbs brings out the flavor. When toasting bread crumbs make sure you to stir them frequently as they can burn quite easily. If you like toasted bread there is a high chance you like toasted bread crumbs, too.

 Preparing this dish couldn’t be easier, everything comes together in under 20 minutes. If you can’t find farmer’s cheese you can make your own, just follow my instructions in my video tutorial, or you could try substituting for Ricotta cheese.
