Jalapeño Popper Cheeseballs
•INGREDIENTS
3 cup fresh jalapenos (about 9–12 peppers)
3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
12 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 large eggs
3 cup panko breadcrumbs
•DIRECTIONS
Preheat oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F
Wash jalapenos, slice in half lengthwise, and remove seeds if desired.
In a bowl, mix cheddar cheese and cream cheese until smooth. Stir in jalapenos.
Roll mixture into golf ball-sized balls.
Set up three bowls: one with seasoned flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each ball in flour, dip in egg wash, and coat with breadcrumbs.
Fry balls in batches for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
