Jalapeno Poppers
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.

We modified this on the breadcrumbing so it went - egg,flour,egg,breadcrumbs,egg breadcrumbs - that way we got good coverage. We dont have a deep fat friyer so just did it in the wok. Oh and we did 4 at a time as we were experimenting.

Have fun
