Hot Italian Cheese Balls Recipe {+ Bonus Breakfast Frittata} (2024)

This holiday hack allows you to make two recipes with one ingredient saving time AND money! Plus, I purchased the Gallo Salami at Sam’s Club. Use this holiday hack to make Hot Italian Cheese Balls for dinner and a breakfast frittata.

I am already planning our travels and meals for when friends and family will be staying with us. Make Hot Italian Cheese Balls for dinner and a breakfast frittata the following morning.

One ingredient to go between two recipes! The spices and cheese combine perfectly to add some kick as the cheese oozes out of the warm dough. One of the things I love about this recipe is that it can be used as an appetizer or a meal on its own when paired with a salad.

AND everyone loves them! purchasing Tyson products in bulk at Sam’s. Finding amazing meals that I know everyone will love is key, but so is saving time.

By saving time preparing and making meals, I can spend more time with everyone and savor every moment of our time together, making memories.

For this recipe, you will need Gallo Salami, buttermilk biscuit dough, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. These ingredients will help lay the foundation for these hot Italian cheese balls.

However, artichokes and olive oil will take this recipe to the next level.

Instructions for Hot Italian Cheese Balls

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Open biscuit dough and lay out 8 biscuits.

Add sliced salami onto each biscuit. (I divided each round slice into quarters and put 2 on each biscuit.)

Add 2 pieces of julienne sliced sun-dried tomatoes, a piece of artichoke, and 2 pieces of mozzarella to each biscuit.

Wrap the ends around to create a ball.

Dip the ball into olive oil and then roll the top into the Italian seasoning.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and place on the baking sheet with the seasoned side up.

Bake in the oven for 16-18 minutes until golden brown.

Serve warm and enjoy!

As you clean up your ingredients, take your leftover Gallo Salami and slice up a little more into cubes so it is ready for the breakfast frittata recipe you will make the following morning.

Using your leftover salami from your Hot Italian Cheese Balls, you can make a breakfast recipe for guests the next morning with little effort! Instead, spend your time with friends and family, especially when they are visiting for the holidays!

Breakfast Frittata Ingredients

The promise was to make two different recipes with the same ingredients. You’ll be able to use the salami again for the second recipe. You already stocked up on olive oil, and it can be used here as well.

There are a few ingredients that weren’t included in the first recipe that will be needed for this one. You’ll need onions, garlic cloves, and a few more things.

You will also want to add red, yellow, and orange bell peppers. You can use some parmesan from the last recipe, but goat cheese will also be needed.

How to Make a Breakfast Frittata

This breakfast frittata recipe is made from leftovers from our Hot Italian Cheese Balls recipe! Holiday hack heaven!

In a large frying pan or cast-iron pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and saute until lightly browned.

Next, add the cubed potatoes and saute until browned about 5 minutes.

Add Salami to the potatoes and continue to brown.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add grated Parmesan, and then add red, yellow, and orange bell peppers.

Pour egg mixture into the pan and reduce heat to low. Add slices of mild goat cheese to the top. Cook until the eggs are almost set, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Heat the broiler and broil for about 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are set.

Cut and serve this delicious breakfast frittata.
