Step 2

After refrigerating, take some of the mixture, form it into a ball, and place it in a casserole dish. Repeat this until you have finished all the mixture. Once done, put them in a freezer for about an hour. In the meantime, prepare the coating. Beat two eggs in the first bowl, put some flour on the second flour, and some breadcrumbs in the third bowl. Season the flour with some chili powder and cajun seasoning.

Step 3

Now, dip one ball into the flour first, then into the beaten eggs, and lastly into the breadcrumbs. Repeat these with all of the cheese balls. After this, store them in the fridge while you preheat your oil. Once your oil is hot, gently drop the cheese balls and deep fry them for about 45 seconds or until they’re crispy.
