Jalapeno Poppers

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapenos

    Wearing gloves, slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. This helps reduce the heat.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Fill the Jalapenos

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling it generously.

  4. 4

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

Breading and Frying

  1. 5

    Bread the Jalapenos

    Dip each filled jalapeno first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well-coated.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 7

    Fry the Jalapenos

    Carefully place the breaded jalapenos in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, remove the jalapenos with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
