Breaded Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

JALAPEñO POPPERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then top with a wire rack.
• Halve jalapeños lengthwise. (Do your best to halve them through their stems for added visual appeal.) Using the tip of a small spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Set the halved jalapeños aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, cilantro, scallions, garlic and lime zest, if using; season generously with salt and pepper.
• Season the inside of each halved jalapeño with salt and pepper, then fill each with about 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture. (Fill until there's a slight dome on top.) Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with 1 piece of bacon, setting one tip of bacon on top of the cream cheese filling, then wrapping the bacon under and over the popper at an angle, so the bacon covers the filling on top in two layers. (The bacon will shrink as it cooks, so you want to make sure the top of the popper is well covered.) Arrange poppers evenly on the wire rack, nestling each popper between two parallel wires to keep it upright so the cream cheese doesn't spill during baking.
• Transfer to the oven, and bake until bacon is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Broil on the rack closest to the broiler until crisp, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.

BEST EVER JALAPENO POPPERS

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.

BREADED JALAPENO POPPERS

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.

BAKED JALAPENO POPPERS

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.

JALAPENO POPPERS I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, sharp Cheddar cheese and mayonnaise. Stuff jalapeno halves with the mixture.
• Whisk together eggs and milk in a small bowl. Place crushed corn flake cereal in a separate small bowl.
• Dip each stuffed jalapeno half into the egg and milk mixture, then roll in corn flake cereal to coat.
• Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until filling is bubbly and lightly browned.

BAKED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Fill each jalapeno pepper half with cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and bread crumbs, respectively, and arrange peppers on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until jalapenos are tender and cheese melts, about 20 minutes.

BREADED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• In a 6-quart saucepan, combine jalapeños, vinegar and 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until jalapeños are tender but not soft, 15 to 20 minutes depending on size. Drain and rinse with cold water. Using a small knife, make a slit along the side of each jalapeño. Keeping jalapeños as intact as possible, carefully remove and discard stems and seeds.
• Using a blunt knife or small spoon, spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter inside each jalapeño, pressing the opening closed. (Do not overlap edges.)
• Spread flour in a wide shallow bowl and roll filled jalapeños to coat them well, roll in egg, then roll in bread crumbs. Set aside on a plate.
• In a large skillet, add enough oil to come about 3/4 inch up the side. Place over medium-high heat until oil is shimmering. Working in batches, fry jalapeños until well browned and crisp on the undersides, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and brown the other side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.

BAKED CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
• Blend cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and taco seasoning together in a bowl; spread into jalapeno halves and arrange onto prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the cheese filling.
• Bake until the peppers are just tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

LOADED STUFFED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water and set aside. Slice a thin piece from the bottom of each pepper to stop peppers from rolling onto their sides when baking.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Drop each pepper carefully into the water and boil 2 minutes. Remove peppers from water and place in the bowl of ice water.
• Cook turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 3 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, ranch-flavored seasoning, and garlic.
• Remove peppers from water and drain. Fill each pepper with sausage mixture, forming a mound. Place filled peppers on a baking sheet; place in the freezer until just frozen, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix bread crumbs with butter. Press into the top of the sausage filling.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are golden brown and cheese starts to bubble, 25 to 30 minutes.

UNBREADED JALAPENO POPPERS WITH DOUBLE CHEESE!

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).
