Pam's Notes:
This is a recipe I discovered through "Relish" Restaurant in GA. I just had to figure out how to minimize the amounts.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

OH WOW! We loved this combo of cheeses even before we deep fried it. Once fried, we served them with both horseradish sauce and marinara. The horseradish was the fave, but these little guys are delicious no matter how you serve them. Enjoy!

Directions

Mix all the above in a large bowl(except the flour,buttermilk and breadcrumbs) till it is smooth, then roll into small meatball sizes

Then refrigerate for about an hour.

Then take 3 bowls out and put the flour in one bowl, buttermilk in another and then Panko breadcrumbs in the third. Take each ball and roll them in the contents of the bowls - in that same order; set them aside. While doing this you can heat a pot of oil for frying.

Take 2-3 balls at a time and fry them for about 1 minute until golden; drain on paper towels.

I would serve this with horseradish dipping sauce.

Pam, In the #1 of directions, you say to 1. Mix all the above in a large bowl till it is smooth, then roll into small meatball sizes.
Then in #2, you say, Then take 3 bowls out and put flour in one bowl,buttermilk in another and then Panko breadcrumbs

Question: is that the same ingredients in #2 that you already mixed in with #1 because that's what is written? Surely you don't mix the bread crumbs & buttermilk & flour all in with the cheese??? Please advise on this.
