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

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!
