Stuffed Jalapeños Recipe

Prepare the Jalapeños

Preheat your oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). While the oil is heating, prepare the jalapeños by slicing them in half lengthwise and removing the seeds and membranes for a milder taste.

Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Stuff the Jalapeños

Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, filling them generously.

Bread the Jalapeños

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs. Dip each stuffed jalapeño first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Make sure they are evenly coated.

Fry the Jalapeños

Carefully place the breaded jalapeños in the hot oil, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Dijonnaise

In a small bowl, mix together equal parts mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a dijonnaise sauce for dipping.

Serve

Serve the hot stuffed jalapeños with the dijonnaise on the side.
