Breaded Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
• In a bowl, cream together the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cumin, and cayenne.
• In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and 2 teaspoons of the Essence. In a shallow dish, combine the panko crumbs and remaining 4 teaspoons of Essence. In a third dish, combine the flour and remaining 2 teaspoons of Essence. Spread 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture into the middle of each jalapeno half. One at a time, dredge in the flour, dip into the egg mixture, then dredge in the panko crumbs, pressing to coat. If necessary, repeat the process. Place the coated peppers, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the filling is runny and the crust is golden, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and serve immediately with cold beer.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Steps:

• Remember to wear some disposable gloves when working with jalapeno peppers-- and don't touch your face!
• If you don't have any plastic gloves, I have slipped my hands into baggies to protect them from the oils that can really burn and sting for hours.
• In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, and pepper jack cheese.
• In a pot of barely simmering water, blanch the pepper halves for 2 minutes, drain and dry thoroughly.
• Spoon mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
• Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls.
• Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each.
• Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
• Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs.
• Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Deep fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown.
• Remove and let drain on a paper towel.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Spoon this mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
• Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
• Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F ( 180 degrees C). Deep fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.

Steps:

• Cut jalapenos in half and remove seeds and veins.
• (Use gloves to work with peppers).
• Fill jalpenos with cream cheese and wrap a slice of bacon around each one.
• Secure with a toothpick.
• Bake at 425 degrees until bacon appears to be done, about 15-20 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine cheddar,cream cheese& salsa.
• Blend in 1/4 cup bread crumbs (less 3 tbsp crumbs).
• Spoon evenly into the pepper halves.
• Toss together the remaining bread crumbs, parsley& butter.
• Spoon over the peppers.
• Bake on cookie sheet in 375f oven for 20 minutes or until the top is golden and crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Split jalepeno pepper down the side, but keep the stem in tact (wear gloves).
• With your thumb or a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and membrane leaving a pocket in which to stuff. Blend cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onion, and garlic powder. Stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture and place on a sprayed baking sheet and top with a sprinkle of paprika.
• Bake for about 25 minutes or until the peppers are softened and cheese is melted. Let sit a few minutes for the cheese to set up before eating.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Cut stems off of peppers and cut them in half lengthwise.
• Remove the seeds and veins from the peppers (you may want to wear gloves to keep the oils off of your hands).
• When finished, make sure you rinse the peppers so the oils are removed from the outside of the pepper.
• Fill each pepper half with cream cheese. If using large peppers, you may have to use more cream cheese than listed above.
• Cut the slices of bacon to fit on top of each pepper.
• Place on a baking sheet and sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top. If you keep them next to each other in a bunch on the cookie sheet, it is easier to sprinkle the cheese on top and keep it there instead of having it fall off and burn on the cookie sheet. Just make sure you separate the cheese carefully when they are done baking and still warm.
• Bake until bacon is fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes.
• Remove and serve when cooled. (They can be made the night before and stored in an air tight container in the fridge).
