Use a teaspoon to scoop out the mixture and form small balls. You should get about 12-14 balls depending on the size. Dip each ball into the beaten eggs for coating, then roll them in breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the ricotta balls into the oil. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Remove the balls from the pan and let them drain on a paper towel.
