1️⃣ Prepare the Dredging Station:
Set up three shallow containers. In the first, place the flour. In the second, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. In the third, combine the breadcrumbs with all the seasonings.

2️⃣ Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, mix both cheeses and the softened jalapeños until well combined.

3️⃣ Form and Freeze:
Roll the cheese mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet. Flash freeze for 30-45 minutes until firm.

4️⃣ Dredge:
Roll each ball in the flour, dip in the egg mixture, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. For a double layer, repeat the dip in the egg mixture and the breadcrumb coating.

5️⃣ Fry:
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the balls in batches, about 6-8 at a time, until golden on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
