🍽️ Ingredients

Ingredients for stuffed cheese balls with jalapeño: shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, eggs, flour, and breadcrumbs arranged neatly on a kitchen countertop.

For the Cheese Balls:

  • 500 g cheddar (or any melting cheese), grated
  • 80 g flour
  • 200 g breadcrumbs
  • 3 small eggs
  • 20 ml milk
  • 40 g pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

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!

5️⃣ 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.

🍽️ Best Dipping Sauces for These Cheese Balls

Marinara sauce – Classic and tangy! 🍅

Spicy mayo – For a creamy, spicy kick. 🌶️

Garlic aioli – Perfectly creamy and garlicky! 🧄

Salsa – Fresh, zesty, and vibrant! 🌶️🍅

🔎 Pro Tips & Variations

🔹 Want more heat? Add chili powder to the breadcrumbs or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese mixture!

🔹 Make them even cheesier – Add cream cheese or a mix of cheeses like mozzarella for extra meltiness.

🔹 For extra crunch, chill the balls in the fridge for 10 minutes before frying—they’ll hold their shape better!

🔹 No pickled jalapeños? Use fresh ones, or even banana peppers for a milder flavor.

🔹 Make them mini – Shape into smaller bites for perfect party appetizers.
