1 teaspoon seasoning salt (like Lawry's)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (or more as needed)
4 eggs
1 cup water

Place an empty 1/2 size foil pan next to the bread crumbs. Place the unbreaded cheese balls next to the flour. Start breading procedure.
  • Breading Procedure: Place 20 cheese balls into flour. Toss gently to coat. Shake off excess flour and place cheese balls into egg wash. Cover cheese balls completely with egg wash. Transfer cheese balls to bread crumbs. Toss gently to coat. Shake off excess bread crumbs and return cheese balls to egg wash. Return cheese balls to bread crumbs. Toss gently to coat thoroughly. Place on sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Frying Procedure: Heat counter top fryer or frying pan filled with oil to 360 degrees. Fry cheese balls for about 1 1/2 minutes on until golden brown. Place fritters on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess grease. Serve immediately with ranch dressing for dipping.

I made these fritters for my family and they loved them. The fritters were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The cheese was gooey and the jalapeños added just the right amount of spice.
