Grate both of the cheeses with a box cheese grater or microplane. Make sure to grate the cheese finely. This will produce a super melty fried cheese ball. Cover and set the cheese aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until well combined. Add both kinds of cheese to the egg whites, season well with freshly ground pepper, and blend with a fork, or electric mixer, to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes. This will help the cheese mixture get firm, making it easier to roll into small balls.
Add a little bit of oil to a shallow bowl. Grease your hands to help roll the cheese balls. Roll a tablespoon of the cheese mixture into little round cheese balls. Makes about 15 balls—place balls on a greased baking sheet.
Heat a pan with at least 4 inches of oil- wait until the oil is hot at 350 degrees F. Fry the cheese balls for about 2 minutes, moving them around with a slotted spoon until nicely colored. Fry in batches and don’t overcrowd the pan, or they will stick together and not cook properly.
Carefully remove the fried cheese balls from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb the extra oil. Transfer to a serving platter. Serve hot!
