Time 15m

Yield Around 12 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 4

Peanut oil for deep frying
3 large egg whites
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold in Parmesan and cayenne with a rubber spatula. In batches, drop small teaspoonsful of the mixture into the hot oil and fry until lightly browned -- about 2 minutes -- turning puffs as necessary.
