Cheddar Jalapeño Bites Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, diced pickled jalapeños, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. 2

   Add Flour and Egg

   Add the flour and beaten egg to the cheese mixture. Stir until a thick dough forms.

   Using your hands, form the mixture into small bite-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Bites

   Carefully drop the jalapeño bites into the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
