Jalapeno Poppers Recipe
Ingredients:
* 10 jalapeno peppers
* 6 ounces cream cheese
* 6 ounces pepper jack, Monterey jack or cheddar cheese, shredded
* 1 garlic clove finely minced
* 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 eggs
* 1 tablespoon milk
* 1 cup bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Directions
1. Cut stems off the jalapenos approximately 1/2-inch from the top. Save the tops. Remove the seeds and membrane.
2. In a small bowl, blend together the cream cheese, garlic, chili powder and shredded cheese.
3. Fill the inside of the peppers (through the hole where stem was removed) with the cream cheese mixture. Over fill with the cheese and press the top back on each pepper. Wipe off any excess.
4. Place the flour in a bowl.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs with 1 tablespoon milk and whisk until well combined.
6. Pour the bread crumbs in a third bowl.
7. Dredge the stuffed peppers in the flour, then in the egg, and last, roll in the bread crumbs, being sure to cover all sides of the peppers.
8. Place peppers on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
9. Heat approximately 2-inches of oil in a deep-fryer or saucepan to 350 degrees F.
10. When the oil is hot, place 3 or 4 breaded jalapenos at a time in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes (do not over cook).
11. Drain on paper towels, and keep warm in a 200 degrees F oven.
Serve hot. Makes 10 poppers.
