In a large bowl, stir together the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, jalapenos, and garlic until evenly combined.

Form the cheese mixture into 10 balls by using your hands to squeeze the mixture together as tightly as possible. Place the balls on a baking sheet and freeze for 4 hours. (Do not skip the freezing step.)

Pour the oil into a medium saucepan until it comes 1 inch up the sides. Place over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (You will need to fry in batches.)

To prepare the breading station, place the flour in one bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together in another bowl, and then stir together the panko, smoked paprika, and salt in a third bowl.

Roll each of the frozen cheese balls first in the flour, then in the egg wash, and finally in the bread crumbs.

Fry the bites for 2 minutes on each side, or until they have a golden brown on the outside and soft melty cheese on the inside. Carefully remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and allow to drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.

Serve immediately with some ranch dressing for dipping.
