Cheddar Cheese Sliders

• total time: 3 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup pimentos, drained and chopped

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)

Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

In a large bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until well combined.

Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

In three separate shallow dishes, place flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third.

Roll each cheese ball first in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Place the coated fritters back on the baking sheet.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the fritters into the oil, frying them in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
