Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Jalapenos
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon. This will help reduce the heat of the peppers.
- 2
Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- 3
Stuff the Jalapenos
Using a spoon, fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture, ensuring they are generously filled.
Breading

Set Up the Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and Panko breadcrumbs.

Coat the Jalapenos
Take each stuffed jalapeno, first coat it in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the Panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Repeat for all jalapenos.
Cooking
- 6
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- 7
Fry the Jalapenos
Carefully add the breaded jalapenos to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the jalapeno poppers and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
