Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and chopped green chilies. Mix well to form a cohesive filling.

Step 2: Shape the Bites

  • Take small portions of the cheese mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 3: Coat the Bites

  • In a small bowl, mix all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
  • Roll each cheese ball in the flour mixture, dip it in beaten egg, and then coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all the balls.

Step 4: Fry the Cheese Chili Bites

  • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  • Fry the coated cheese balls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch.
  • Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 5: Serve

  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or spicy mayo. Enjoy the cheesy, spicy goodness!

FAQs

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Make sure to flip them halfway through for even browning.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the coated cheese balls in advance and freeze them. When ready to serve, fry or bake them directly from the freezer.

What cheese works best for this recipe?

Cheddar cheese is ideal due to its sharp flavor and meltability, but you can also use mozzarella or a mix of your favorite cheeses.

What dipping sauces pair well with Cheese Chili Bites?

Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a spicy mayo are excellent choices to complement the flavors of these bites.
