Italian Cheese Balls, called “Pallotte Cacio e Uova”, are a traditional recipe from my region of Abruzzo. Using simple ingredients, these Italian Cheese Balls are like an emblem of Abruzzese cuisine, made with just eggs, cheese, and bread! Who would have thought that these 3 ingredients could combine to make such flavorsome balls of joy? Eat them plain or dip them in Nonna’s tomato sauce, but either way, you’ll become addicted to these delicious Italian Cheese Balls – trust me!
