All-purpose flour.
Eggs and milk, whisked together.
Breadcrumbs mixed with cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
Step 3: Bread the Bites
Once the cheese balls are nice and firm, it’s time to bread them. Dip each cheese ball into the flour first, then the egg mixture, and finally roll them in the breadcrumb mixture. For an extra crispy bite, repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps.
Step 4: Fry the Bites
Heat up your vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded cheese balls in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 5: Serve
Serve your delicious rattlesnake bites hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch or a spicy aioli work perfectly! Enjoy these spicy, cheesy delights!
