Ingredients:

2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
2 cups cooked ham, diced
1 cup beer
Canola oil, for frying
1 package batter mix

Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded Swiss cheese, diced cooked ham, and mix them together until well combined. Form the mixture into small balls, using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture for each ball.
Prepare the Batter:
- In a separate bowl, prepare the batter mix according to the package instructions, using 1 cup of beer instead of water for extra flavor.
Coat the Fritters:
- Pour the remaining dry batter mix onto a large plate. Take each cheese and ham ball and dip it into the prepared wet batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, roll the coated ball in the dry batter until it’s evenly covered.
Fry the Fritters:
- In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the canola oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully drop the coated fritters into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each batch until the fritters are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 2 minutes per batch.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the Irish Rover Cordon Bleu Fritters hot and crispy, with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own as a tasty appetizer or snack!
