Ingredients:

2 large egg whites
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
a pinch cayenne
vegetable oil for deep-frying

Cooking Instructions:

Put whites in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature

15 minutes. With an electric mixer beat whites until they

hold stiff peaks. Fold in parmesan cheese and cayenne. Roll mixture into about twenty 3/4-inch balls.

In a 3-quart heavy kettle, heat 1 inch oil to 375?F.

Working in batches, fry balls in oil, turning them occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve Parmesan puffs warm as an accompaniment to soup or as

an hors doeuvre.
