3. Season Mixture: Add garlic powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until well blended.
4. Prepare Egg: In another bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly.
5. Form Bites: Take a small amount of the cheese mixture and shape it into a bite-sized ball, about 1 inch in diameter.
