Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 egg whites
1 cup grated Spanish cheese, such as Tetilla or Manchego (not too aged), or Swiss or Gouda
Dash of cayenne pepper
3 teaspoons flour
8 1/2-inch cubes chorizo
Oil for frying
8 1/4-inch-thick pieces pickled cucumber (recipe follows)

Steps:

  • Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Stir in the cheese, cayenne and flour. With floured hands shape into walnut-sized balls and press a cube of chorizo into the center. Heat the oil at least 1/2 inch deep to about 390 to 400 degrees and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels. Or better, use a deep fryer. (May be kept warm in a 200 degree oven for up to 30 minutes). Spear a cucumber piece on top of each cheese puff with a toothpick.;
