jalapeno cheese ball

My Rattlesnake Bites Texas Roadhouse copycat recipe is made with creamy Pepper Jack cheese, spicy jalapenos, and an easy-to-make breading.

Rattlesnake Bites Recipe (Texas Roadhouse Copycat)

pepper jack cheese (shredded)

jalapenos (seeds removed and finely diced)

all-purpose flour

eggs

milk

breadcrumbs

cayenne pepper

paprika

garlic powder

salt

vegetable oil

In a bowl, combine the shredded pepper jack cheese and diced jalapenos. Mix well.

Shape the cheese mixture into small balls, about an inch in diameter. Place on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 30 minutes to firm up.

While the cheese balls are freezing, prepare three separate bowls for the breading process. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and garlic powder.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

Remove the cheese balls from the freezer. Roll each ball in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.

Fry the cheese balls in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcrowd the fryer - work in batches if necessary.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the bites from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese dressing. Enjoy!

Wow! these texas roadhouse rattlesnake bites were a breeze to whip up! The Slow Roasted Italian never disappoints. So easy and delicious!

This Jalapeño Cheese Ball is just spicy enough that the more you have, the more you want!! A fast, easy, and foolproof hit!!

Spicy Jalapeño Cheese Ball

brick-style cream cheese (very well softened (lite is okay))

cheddar cheese

red bell pepper

jalapeño pepper

garlic

chives

In a large bowl, add all ingredients except nuts, and stir to combine or use a handheld electric mixer and beat on low speed to combine. Make sure cream cheese is very well softened before beginning or it will be unnecessarily difficult to combine the ingredients.

Using a spatula (or your hands), pat mixture into a ball inside bowl; it’s okay if it’s not perfectly round.

Turn ball out onto a large piece of plasticwrap and wrap it up. Gently pat it into a nice smooth ball, and place ball inside a ziptop bag to prevent fridge smells.

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, to chill and firm up.

Prior to serving, combine the walnuts and almonds in a medium bowl and gently roll the ball in nuts until it’s completely covered.

This is the MOST requested cheeseball I make.  Have been making for four years and its requested by everyone for a family get-together.  My 14 year old grand-daughter is now making them for her family get-togethers.  Perfect, easy to make, easy to adjust the ingredients and never any left-overs.

I realize I’m late to the party but just had to add that this is a great basic recipe to play around with! I sometimes make it with crumbled bacon added (Jalapeno Popper!), or diced bacon, pimiento and dry ranch dip mix added (Bacon Ranch). Also really good with other veggies added to change things up. People, cheese balls are the bomb and soooo easy and yummy! (We also make as a spreadable dip by using 1/3 less fat or spreadable cream cheese and omitting nut coating.) Yummy recipe!
