   Prepare and Shape

   Finely grate the 1 pound of Cheddar cheese and 1 pound of feta cheese into a large bowl. Add the 1 beaten egg and 5 tablespoons of cornstarch, then toss everything together until well combined. Once mixed, roll the cheese mixture into small, uniform balls. These shaped balls can be kept indefinitely in the freezer if you're preparing them ahead.

   Fry and Serve

   Heat deep fat in a pot or deep fryer until it's hot enough to fry (a small piece of cheese dropped in should sizzle immediately). Carefully drop the cheese balls into the hot fat, working in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Fry until they turn a deep golden brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve them piping hot, perhaps with toothpicks for easy handling.
