Notes
Ingredients Notes and Shopping Tips
- Pepper Jack Cheese: I like to shred my own cheese for the smoothest melt! If you want to dial down the heat, you could use Cheddar or Monterey Jack instead.
- Jalapenos: If you like things milder, remove the seeds and ribs with a spoon. Be sure to wear gloves or wash your hands very well after handling hot peppers and before touching your face.
- Milk: Use whole milk if possible.
- Oil: I used vegetable oil.
- Don't Skip Freezing: I know it's annoying and takes an hour, but you'll end up with a melty exploding mess if you don't.
- Use a Thermometer to keep an eye on oil temp.
- Fry in Small Batches: Fry only 4-5 at a time.
- Wait for the oil to come back up to 350 degrees after frying between batches as well.
- Keep Warm: Keep warm in an oven set to 200 degrees while you finish frying and before serving.
