STARTER: Cheese Balls with Cherry Tomatoes
|
|
|
These colorful cheese balls are a popular party appetizer in Belarus and neighboring countries. Creamy cheese, garlic, and egg form a savory shell around a juicy cherry tomato center, while fresh dill adds a bright herbal coating. They look elegant on a holiday table and require no cooking beyond boiling the egg.

You can use any meat for these patties. I prefer a mixture of beef, pork and veal in a 1:1:1 ratio.

This version uses kefir, which gives the batter a slight tang and helps create a light, tender coating.
