Jalapeno peppers are stuffed with a cream cheese mixture then battered and deep fried to make delicious little appetizers.

Ingredients:

  • 12 jalapeno peppers, sliced in half lengthwise, seeds removed
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • dash salt
  • 1 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
  • oil for deep frying

Preparation:

Fill jalapeno pepper halves with cream cheese and press halves back together. Combine eggs, water and salt. Dip jalapeno peppers into egg mixture and into breadcrumbs. Place on a cookie sheet and freeze for 2 hours. Heat oil in deep fryer to 370°. Deep fry peppers in batches for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer jalapeno poppers to paper towels to drain.

"I followed this recipe to a ""T"". The second the poppers hit the 370 degree oil, the batter simply fell off, about 20 seconds later the halves broke apart, spilling the cream cheese into the oil. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone."
