Method
Fritters Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, all-purpose flour, baking powder, beaten egg, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated to form a thick batter.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 3
Fry the Fritters
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Add Parmesan
While the fritters are still hot, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of each fritter.

Mix the Dressing
