Ingredients

• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups panko
• 1 oz. package ranch seasoning mix
• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
• 1 cup shredded Havarti
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1 cup shredded Swiss
• Marinara sauce, to serve

Directions

1. In a large Dutch oven, pour oil to a depth of 4 inches; heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350.

2. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs until well beaten. In another shallow dish, whisk together bread crumbs, ranch seasoning and chives.

3. In a large bowl, stir together all cheese; measure 2 tbsp., squeeze tightly, and roll into a ball. Working in batches, dredge cheese balls in eggs, letting excess drip off; coat in panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat egg and bread crumb procedure once.

4. Fry balls in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove using a slotted spoon, and let drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with marinara sauce.
