# Tomato Grilled Cheese Balls Dude Foods Fuses Together Grilled Cheese Sandwiches With Tomato Soup By M | Published 2015-08-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-cheese-balls References: [sheknows](http://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/1093723/deep-fried-tomato-soup-filled-grilled-cheese-balls) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcBnyPrbt4k) Food blogger Nick from Dude Foods recently combined two of the most desirable meals together by creating these deep fried grilled cheese balls filled with a burst of tomato soup. These cheesy balls are super easy to make and with some prep can be made easily at home. While cake pop moulds are often used for creating sweet treats, Nick found a way to repurpose them to create these delicious grilled cheese balls. The recipe begins by freezing tomato soup inside the cake pop moulds so that they come out in little rounds. Then cover the frozen soup balls in a layer bread, cheese then more bread and deep fry them to replicate the grilled taste of grilled cheese. As you deep fry the cheese balls, the frozen soup cube will melt reverting back to warm tomato soup. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Deep Fried:** There's an opportunity to explore deep fried versions of popular dishes like grilled cheese, offering a unique twist on classic comfort foods. - **Reimagined Molds:** Repurposing commonly used molds, such as cake pop molds, to create innovative food creations can lead to new and exciting dishes. - **Combining Flavors:** Experimenting with unexpected flavor combinations, like pairing grilled cheese with tomato soup, can create delightful fusion dishes that excite the taste buds. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore creating unique and indulgent food items to cater to adventurous eaters looking for novel culinary experiences. - **Catering and Events:** Catering and event companies can add deep fried grilled cheese balls to their menus, offering a fun and interactive appetizer or snack option for guests. - **Kitchen Appliances:** Kitchen appliance companies can develop innovative products specifically designed to make the creation of deep fried and reimagined dishes more accessible and convenient for home cooks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sandwich-Soup Combination Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campbells.md) - [Grilled Cheese-Style Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-cheesestyle-bites.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Potato Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-grilled-cheese-tomato-soup.md) - [Grilled Cheese-Inspired Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-cheese-steakburger.md) - [DIY Cheesy Soup Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-based-cracker.md) - [Hybrid Grilled Cheese Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-cheese-dipping-tacos.md) - [Bloody Mary Grilled Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloody-mary-grilled-cheese.md) - [Street Food-Inspired Burger Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-balls.md) - [Frozen Tomato Sandwich Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomato-ice-toast.md)
