1️⃣ Mix the Cheese Filling

In a bowl, combine the grated cheese, chopped jalapeños, and black pepper.

Mix everything together until evenly combined, making sure the jalapeños are well-distributed.

2️⃣ Get the Coatings Ready

In a separate bowl, pour the flour.

In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until smooth.

In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

3️⃣ Shape & Coat the Cheese Balls

Take small portions of the cheese mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.

Coat each ball in flour, dip into the egg mixture, and then roll it in breadcrumbs.

For extra crunch, repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps for a double coat.

4️⃣ Fry to Golden Perfection

Heat oil in a deep pan to around 180°C (350°F).

Fry the cheese balls in small batches for about 15–20 seconds until golden brown.

Keep an eye on them to make sure the cheese doesn’t escape during frying!

Serve Hot

Let the cheese balls rest on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serve them while hot and gooey with your favorite dipping sauces like marinara, spicy mayo, or garlic aioli.
