Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded pepper jack cheese with 1-2 diced jalapeños. Mix well until cheese is evenly distributed.
  2. Scoop out portions of the cheese mixture and roll them into balls about 1 ½ inches in diameter. Freeze the balls for 30-60 minutes.
  3. Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls: flour in the first, egg mixed with milk in the second, and seasoned panko in the third.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Bread the cheese balls by rolling them in flour, dipping in egg mixture, and coating with seasoned breadcrumbs.
  6. Fry the breaded cheese balls in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them.
  7. Transfer the fried bites onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and serve immediately with dipping sauces.
