Mix Cheese Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped chives. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and smooth.

Using your hands, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used, placing the cheese balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika.

Coat Each Cheese Ball
Take each cheese ball and first roll it in the all-purpose flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll it in the panko breadcrumbs until completely covered. Place breaded cheese balls back on the baking sheet.
Frying the Bombas
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Bombas
Carefully add the breaded cheese balls to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
