We offer a classic version of the dish that will definitely surprise your guests, because you don’t often see such an appetizer on the table. The balls have an interesting appearance and delicate taste.

1. 
   To prepare Raffaello, we will need crab sticks (slightly frozen). We free them from the film, and then grate them on a fine grater into a separate container.
2. 
   Place both eggs in a saucepan with cold running water. Place the container on the stove. Bring the liquid to a boil, and then cook the eggs until tender (8-10 minutes). Pour hot water into the sink. Pour cold water over the eggs to help them cool faster. Peel the shells, grate them on a fine grater, or mash them with a fork.

   We also grate a piece of cheese on the side of the small holes.
4. 
   Place half the portion of crab sticks, cheese and eggs in a common container (bowl or bowl).

6. 
   Take a tablespoon and drop it into the mixture. Take a small amount of the mixture and form it into balls the size of a walnut.
