Prepare the Filling:
Start by mixing the shredded pepper jack cheese and finely diced jalapenos in a medium bowl. Form this spicy, cheesy mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop them into the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up. 
Set Up Your Breading Station:
While your cheese balls are freezing, set up your breading station with three shallow bowls:
All-purpose flour. 
Eggs and milk, whisked together. 
Breadcrumbs mixed with cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. 
Bread the Bites:
Once the cheese balls are nice and firm, it’s time to bread them. Dip each cheese ball into the flour first, then the egg mixture, and finally roll them in the breadcrumb mixture. For an extra crispy bite, repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps. 
Fry the Bites:
Heat up your vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded cheese balls in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. 
Serve:
Serve your delicious rattlesnake bites hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch or a spicy aioli work perfectly! Enjoy these spicy, cheesy delights!
