 These Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rattlesnake Bites are a spicy and cheesy
 treat that's perfect for any gathering. Made with jalapeños and a
 blend of cheeses, then coated in breadcrumbs and fried to golden
 perfection, these appetizers are a crowd-pleaser with a kick. Simple
 to prepare and impossible to resist, they'll quickly become a
 favorite at your table.

 Filling:

 In a mixing bowl, combine Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese,
 jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and
 black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.

 Shape the Bites:

 Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1" balls. Place the balls on a
 parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.

 Set Up the Breading Station:

 Prepare three shallow bowls:

 * Bowl 1: All-purpose flour
 * Bowl 2: Beaten eggs
 * Bowl 3: Breadcrumbs

 Bread the Cheese Balls:

 Roll each frozen cheese ball in flour, dip it in beaten eggs, and
 coat it with breadcrumbs. For extra crispiness, repeat the process
 (egg and breadcrumbs) one more time.

 Fry the Bites:

 Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to
 350°F/175°C. Fry the breaded bites in small batches for 2 to 3
 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

 Drain and Serve:

 Remove the bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
 Serve them warm with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
