Ingredients
Steps
Remove the boudin filling from its casing and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Scoop a portion of boudin and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of pepper jack cheese in the center, then roll the boudin around the cheese to form a ball about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all boudin is used.
Prepare your breading station with three separate bowls: one for flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the crushed Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
Dredge each boudin ball in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured ball into the beaten eggs until fully coated.
Roll the ball in the crushed Hot Cheetos, pressing firmly to ensure an even and thick coating of crumbs.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)).
Carefully drop the boudin balls into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry for 3-4 minutes until the coating is crispy and the cheese inside is melted.
Remove the balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels before serving hot.
Notes
If the boudin is too crumbly to form balls, you can add a small amount of beaten egg to the mixture to help it bind. For the best crust, ensure the Cheetos are crushed very finely.
