Method
Hard1-boil an egg for 10 minutes in boiling water, then cool it in cold water for 5 minutes, peel, and grate finely.
Grate the cheese finely, then split the crabsticks2: grate half into a paste, reserve the rest for coating.
Mix the cheese, grated egg, half the grated crabstick2, mayonnaise, minced garlic5, finely chopped dill6, and salt.
Roll into small, firm balls about the size of a walnut.
Coat the balls in the remaining grated crabstick2 and chill for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Why it works
- Grate the egg chilled, so the balls don't spread from the warmth. Chop the garlic finely, otherwise it turns bitter.
- Substitutions
- Replace the mayonnaise with 18 g sour cream for a lighter result. Use Gouda or mozzarella if you have no hard cheese.
- Common mistakes
- If the balls fall apart when you coat them, the cheese isn't grated finely enough or there's too little mayonnaise.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep for 2 days in the fridge and reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds. Don't freeze.
- Serve with
- Serve with lemon wedges and cucumbers on a green salad for a picnic or a kids' party.
