Green Chile and Cheese Hush Puppies
Green Chile and Cheese Hush Puppies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that will leave your taste buds wanting more. These crispy, golden-brown balls of goodness are made with a combination of cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and buttermilk, and are packed with the bold flavors of green chiles and cheese.
To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup canned green chiles, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying
To start, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, green chiles, cheese, onion, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop the batter into the oil, a few at a time. Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the hush puppies to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
These Green Chile and Cheese Hush Puppies are the perfect appetizer for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and bursting with the flavors of green chiles and cheese. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce, and watch them disappear in no time!
