Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Filling:
    • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1/2 cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
    • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • For the Breading:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup breadcrumbs
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and green onions until well blended.
  2. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the cheese mixture and roll them into balls.
  4. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs seasoned with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Dredge each cheese ball in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Fry the cheese balls in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
  8. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels before serving.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: The cheese mixture can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: For a milder flavor, use less jalapeños or substitute with bell peppers.
