Yield 12 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 jalapeño peppers
1 block pepper jack cheese
4 eggs
2 cups flour, as needed
2 cups bread crumbs, as needed
24 toothpicks

Steps:

  • Cut the top off each jalapeño and core it, scraping out all the seeds, with the back side of a spoon.
  • Fill the jalapeños with pepper jack cheese, either melted or cubed.
  • Place the top back on the jalapeños and secure with two toothpicks inserted diagonally.
  • NOTE: Be sure each toothpick goes through both the top and the bottom of the jalapeño to secure it.
  • Dredge in flour, eggs, then breadcrumbs. For a thicker breading, double bread the jalapeños by repeating the egg and breadcrumb dredging.
  • Heat oil to 325°F (160°C).
  • Fry each jalapeño popper until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Cool and allow extra oil to drip off on a plate lined with paper towels. Remove the toothpicks.
  • Season with salt and serve immediately once cooled enough to handle.
  • Enjoy!
