• 1/2 teaspoon Ground Pepper
• 2/3 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

• Oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 300F and line a sheet pan with foil and fill a medium pot with enough oil to deep fry. 
2. Crush the puffs in a food processor until a a fine dust. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, 1 egg, salt, pepper, shredded cheese, and milk; mix well. Add about 4 tablespoons of the crushed puffs and gently fold to combine. 
4. Set up a dredging station with 1 beaten egg in one bowl and the remaining puff dust in another. Roll about 1 tablespoon of meat into a ball and dip in the egg to coat, then roll in the cheddar puff dust, gently pressing the coating into the meatball. Repeat with remaining meat. 
5. Bring the fry oil to 350F and fry in batches, 3 meatballs at a time, until golden; about 1 minute. Lay on a plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil.
