Instructions
Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop mounds of macaroni and cheese and place on a baking sheet.
Place in the freezer until firm, about 2 hours.
Heat oil to 350 degrees in a tabletop fryer or deep cast iron skillet.
Making a breading station with 3 bowls. One with beaten eggs, one with flour, and one with seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
Remove mac and cheese from the freezer and remove each ball from the tray then dip in eggs then flour then back in egg then panko, letting excess drip off between each dip. Lay on a plate.
Place 3 or 4 at a time (do not overcrowd!) in the oil and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove to a paper towel lined plate and fry the remaining.
Serve warm. This are so flavorful and gooey on their own they don't even need a sauce! But if you do want to dip them, try BBQ sauce!
