Ingredients
- 100 g bread (~ 2 medium slices)
- 1 large carrot, grated (~ 185g / ~ 6 1/2 oz)
- 100 g cheddar cheese, grated (~ 1 cup when grated)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 2 eggs
- Oil, for greasing the tray
Instructions
- Use a food processor to blitz the bread into breadcrumbs (or just crumble it finely if you don't have a food processor).
- Add the breadcrumbs to a mixing bowl, along with the grated carrot and grated cheese. Mix to combine.
- Add the remaining ingredients (apart from the oil), and mix thoroughly.
- Use clean hands to shape the mixture into balls - I ended up with 15 balls in total. Place them on a well oiled baking tray, and bake at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) for around 30 minutes, or until crispy and slightly browned.
