Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 200 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 3 whole Jalapeños
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined.
Cut the mozzarella cheese into approximately 1 cm cubes to create the cheesy centers.
Slice the jalapeños into thin rounds and set aside.
Take a tablespoon-sized portion of the beef mixture and flatten it into a small disc in the palm of your hand.
Place a cube of mozzarella and a slice of jalapeño in the center of the disc, then carefully wrap the beef mixture around it, sealing the edges to form a round ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture, cheese, and jalapeños.
Roll each ball lightly in all-purpose flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip each floured ball into the beaten egg mixture, then roll in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Repeat with all the prepared balls.
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet to 175°C (350°F). Use a food thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature.
Carefully lower a few prepared balls into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs, ensuring not to crowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried balls and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, marinara, or spicy aioli. Enjoy your explosive flavor-packed ‘Da Bombs’!
