Pepper Jack Cheese Poppers


Great, fast and easy appetizer!

Ingredients
Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup water
4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups flour
3 eggs
1 cup freshly grated pepper jack cheese
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Instructions
Preheat oil on medium-high heat in a large deep skillet.
Combine water, butter and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil and cook until the butter melts.
Add flour and stir until mixed thoroughly, about 3 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, and beat with a hand mixer. Stir in the cheeses.
Drop dough mixture into the oil by the spoonful; cook in batches until browned, about 3-4 minutes each batch.
Drain poppers on paper towels and serve warm.

Tips & Tricks
Provide guests with a dipping sauce such as a sweet red chili sauce, an orange marmalade, or marinara sauce, to complement these light cheese puffs.
