—Grated Parmesan (1 cup: This hard cheese delivers a sharp, salty punch that enhances the overall flavor. It provides a superior texture and structure to the bites.)
—Shredded Mozzarella (1 cup: Known for its melting qualities, Mozzarella adds creaminess and a delightful stretch that makes each bite indulgent.)
—Large Egg (1: The egg acts as a binding agent, helping to keep the ingredients together and creating a cohesive texture without being overly dense.)
—Onion Powder (1 tsp: This adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor. It enhances the savory nature of the cheese without overpowering it.)
—Garlic Powder (1 tsp, optional: This ingredient can elevate the taste profile, lending an aromatic quality that pairs beautifully with cheese.)
—Salt & Pepper: Essential for bringing out the flavors in the cheese and other ingredients (making sure each bite is perfectly seasoned.)
—Olive Oil or Cooking Spray: Used for greasing the baking sheet (ensuring the bites don’t stick and enabling that crispy golden exterior.)
