Time 2h34m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs, beaten
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
⅔ cup self-rising flour
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon paprika
onion powder to taste
½ cup cornflakes cereal crumbs
1 quart oil for frying

Steps:

  • Bring a half filled medium saucepan of water to boil. Place jalapeno peppers in the water 10 to 15 minutes, until tender. Drain and cool.
  • Blot dry interiors of the jalapeno peppers with a paper towel. Fill each jalapeno pepper half with approximately 1/2 ounce cream cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt and vegetable oil. In another small bowl, mix remaining salt, flour, garlic powder, paprika and onion powder. Place cornflakes cereal crumbs in a third small bowl. One at a time, dip the jalapeno pepper halves into the egg mixture, the flour mixture, the egg mixture again, and finally the cornflakes cereal crumbs. Place coated peppers in a medium dish. Freeze approximately 2 hours.
  • Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Fry the frozen peppers 3 to 4 minutes each, until dark golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve.
