Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 3 jalapenos, seeds removed and finely diced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups fine breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix shredded pepper jack cheese and finely diced jalapenos. Form into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Prepare three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with whisked eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
- Dip each frozen cheese ball into flour, then egg mixture, and coat with breadcrumbs. For extra crispiness, repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps.
- Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a large pot or deep fryer. Fry cheese balls in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or spicy aioli.
