Jalapeno Poppers

We had a bunch of jalapenos left from the garden, so my husband decided he wanted me to make jalapeno poppers. I am really happy with the way they turned out! The breading part is pretty time consuming, but it was worth it!!!

To remove the seeds from the peppers, I used my Pampered Chef Core & More. It worked really well! I would recommend wearing gloves when removing the seeds, because your fingers will burn afterwards!!

Core & More

Ingredients:

-          25-50 Jalapenos, sliced in half with seeds removed

-          250g cream cheese, room temperature

-          1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

-          1 egg

-          1 cup flour

-          2 packages of Kraft Shake N Bake Classic Herb And Parmesan  

-          Vegetable Oil

Directions:

1. Mix cream cheese and cheddar cheese
2. Spoon cheese mixture into jalapeno halves (I used my fingers…it was WAYY easier!)
3. In a bowl, beat egg and milk. Put flour in a separate bowl.
4. Dip jalapenos in egg mixture followed by the flour mixture, and allow them to dry (or put them in the fridge for 5 minutes)
5. Dip flour-coated jalapenos in egg mixture followed by Shake N Bake (I put 3 or 4 in a large bag and shook them.
6. Put coated jalapeno poppers in the fridge (or freezer) for 2 hours before cooking

Heat oil in a medium pot (to 365^oF), and fry poppers for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
