THIS RECIPE COMES FROM CROIX VALLEY PIT CREW MEMBER MIKE SCHILLING, AKA @SMOKIN_HIGHWAYMEN_BBQ.
Croix Valley Cheese Fritters with honey mustard dipping sauce anyone?
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 8 ounces of sour cream
- 3 tablespoons Croix Valley Memphis Dry Rub
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper if desired
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups flour
- 7 cups of shredded cheese
- Sauce
- 2 parts Croix Valley Honey Dijon Barbecue 'N Brat Sauce
- 1 part honey
Directions:
- Mix the eggs, sour cream, and seasonings in a large bowl first, and then fold in cheese.
- Slowly add flour to mixture and work into the fritter dough. You’ll know when there’s enough flour added, trust me. This batch took 2 cups and it started showing signs that more flour wouldn’t work in.
- For the cheeses, this is where you can have some fun and give it your twist. I used 3 cups of an Italian blend of mozzarella/provolone/Asiago, 2 cups of Colby/Monterey jack, and two cups of pimento cheese. I don’t think you can go wrong no matter what you pick for cheeses!
- Put mixture in the refrigerator to cool which will make it easier to roll.
- Scoop out and roll 1 inch balls. Fry for around 2 minutes in 325 degree oil and remove when golden brown.
The sauce you can mix to taste but I use about 2 parts Croix Valley Honey Dijon Barbecue 'N Brat Sauce to 1 part honey. A couple dashes of Tabasco mixed in would be great if you like a little heat.
Pimento cheese was my twist and not needed. Any shredded cheese will work. But if you’re looking for a pimento cheese recipe I have one posted on this page a couple months ago with a Memphis sausage plate.
