Jalapeno Poppers are one of my favorite snacks- I created this recipe because I hated how the Jalepenos in store bought poppers have a tendency to be rubbery; When biting into them, all the filling spurts onto your tongue and burns you, leaving the popper behind! With this recipe, you get equal amounts
of Crispy Popper with a spicy jalepeno/cheese filling.
You'll Need:
1/2 cup fine, dry bread crumbs
1/2 c. Crushed Corn Flakes
1 Tbsp Cilantro (I use fresh, chopped)
1 12-ounce jars sliced pickled jalapeno peppers, drained & chopped
8-ounce cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 - 2 eggs, scrambled with a fork and set aside
 |
Combine jalepeno slices, cream cheese, and sharp cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl. |
 |
Mix well until all are combined. |
 |
Add 1 T. Chopped Fresh Cilantro. Set aside. |
 |
Combine bread crumbs and crushed corn flakes, blending well, set aside. |
 |
Spoon the mixture out and form poppers, place on a clean cookie sheet. |
 |
Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes to let the filling firm. |
 |
Scramble 1 or 2 raw eggs in a dish, add a tablespoon or so of water to thin. Mix well.
Dip the poppers into the egg and then into the bread crumb/cornflake mixture. (Repeat) |
 |
Poppers should have a nice coating on them, with no filling showing through. |
|
Place the tray in the freezer and flash freeze until solid. (A couple hours). Place in ziploc bags or vacuum seal until ready to cook. |
 |
To Cook- deep fry
for 2-3 minutes or until golden Brown. Do not try to cook these unless they are frozen first as the filling will seep out. Drain on papertowels before serving. |
 |
When cooked, The cheesy, jalepeno mixture becomes a smooth creamy filling. Careful, they're hot!
