These light-as-air Parmesan puffs are a sophisticated choice for a vegetarian appetiser or a simple snack to serve with evening drinks. By combining stiffly whisked egg whites with finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, these savoury bites achieve a cloud-like interior encased in a perfectly golden, crisp shell. The touch of black pepper provides a subtle warmth that complements the salty, nutty notes of the aged cheese.

Quick to prepare and incredibly moreish, these homemade savoury snacks are ideal for entertaining or as an elegant garnish for a seasonal soup. For the best results, use a high-quality Italian hard cheese and ensure your oil is at the correct temperature to achieve that signature airy rise. Serve them warm from the pan while the cheese is at its most fragrant.

Ingredients for Parmesan Puffs

About 1450ml vegetable oil
110g finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (250g )
30g de harina común
1/2 cucharaditas de pimienta negra
1/4 cucharadita de sal
4 large egg whites at room temperature
un termómetro para fritura profunda

How to make Parmesan Puffs

Heat 2 inches oil in a deep 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until it registers 182°C on thermometer.

While oil heats, mix together cheese, flour, pepper, and salt in a bowl until combined well. Beat whites in another bowl with an electric mixer until they just hold stiff peaks. Fold in 60g cheese mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining cheese mixture gently but thoroughly.

Drop about 40ml of batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into oil and fry, turning occasionally, until balls of batter are puffed, crisp, and golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain briefly. Make 3 more batches in same manner, returning oil to 182°C between batches. Serve immediately.
