Gator Eggs Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Jalapeños

   Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. This will help reduce the heat.

2. 2

   Make the Filling

   In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with salt and black pepper until well combined.

3. 3

   Stuff the Jalapeños

   Fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture, making sure to pack it in well.

4. 4

   Prepare the Battering Station

   In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a third bowl, place the bread crumbs.

5. 5

   Batter the Jalapeños

   Dip each stuffed jalapeño first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

6. 6

   Heat the Oil

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

7. 7

   Fry the Jalapeños

   Carefully place the battered jalapeños in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the gator eggs hot with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
