1 quart oil for deep frying
10 jalapeno chile peppers
1 cup softened cream cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
