Ingredients

  • 6 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 10-12 Jalapeno peppers halved and seeded
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix cream cheese and shredded cheese in a bowl. Spoon a few tablespoons of this mixture into the pepper halves.
  2. Place milk, flour, and bread crumbs in separate bowls. Dip jalapenos in milk, then flour, then back in milk. Dip peppers in bowl with bread crumbs making sure it is all coated. (To make sure they are coated, re-dip in milk and back in breadcrumbs)
  3. Heat oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Fry jalapeno peppers for a few minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Let drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with ranch or other dipping sauces. 

Notes

  • STORE. Jalapeño poppers are best fresh! But if you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Heat them in the oven at 400°F for about 10-15 minutes.

  • FREEZE. Place coated jalapenos on a platter, and then in the freezer. Once they are solid, transfer them to a freezer Ziploc.

    To fry, allow them to sit at room temperature while the oil is heating up. Fry until warm and golden.
