Jalapeno Poppers Snack Recipe 445

HOW TO MAKE JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Slice 12 jalapenos lengthwise and near the stem end. Rinse the jalapenos and dry them with a towel. Use a small paring knife to cut a long slit from the stem to the end of each pepper. Cut the slit deep enough to slice through to the seeds in the center of the pepper. Use the paring knife to cut a small horizontal slit near the stem. The long slit and small slit near the top should make a T. Ensure that you're only cutting through 1 side of the jalapenos or you'll end up with halved peppers.
• Remove the seeds from the center of the jalapenos. Peel back the sides of the slit so you can scoop out the seeds with a spoon or paring knife. You can also use kitchen shears to snip off the seed pack near the stem. If you have sensitive skin, consider wearing gloves when you're handling the cut peppers. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling them too.
• Mix together the cheese, hot sauce, and seasonings. Get out a small bowl and stir together 1 cup (113 g) of coarsely grated cheddar cheese, 1 cup (113 g) of coarsely grated monterey cheese, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon (3.8 g) of salt until they're combined.
• Fill the jalapenos and press them shut. Divide the seasoned cheese filling among the 12 jalapenos. Peel open the slits in the pepper and spread the cheese filling throughout the pepper's cavity. Then press the slit shut so the cheese is enclosed. Fill all of the peppers. Set the stuffed jalapenos aside. The cheese filling will help the jalapenos keep their shape.
• Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Crack 3 large eggs into a shallow bowl and use a whisk or a fork to beat them. Set the bowl of eggs aside while you set up a dredging station.
• Combine the breadcrumbs with seasonings. Get out another shallow bowl and measure 1 cup (125 g) of plain dry bread crumbs into it. Stir in 2 teaspoons (4 g) of dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of the ground pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) of salt. Set the bowl next to the bowl with the beaten eggs.
• Dip the stuffed jalapenos in the beaten eggs and breadcrumbs. Lower a stuffed jalapeno into the beaten eggs and lift it up so the excess egg drips back into the bowl. Put the pepper into the seasoned breadcrumbs and roll it so it's completely coated. Repeat this for each jalapeno.
• Coat the jalapenos in another layer of egg and breadcrumbs. Lower the coated jalapenos back into the beaten eggs and lift them up so the excess egg drips back down. Roll the jalapenos in the breadcrumbs again so there's another coating of seasoning. Set the prepared poppers on a baking sheet or work surface while you heat the oil.
• Heat the vegetable oil to 325 °F (163 °C). Pour 4 cups (950 ml) of vegetable oil into a medium saucepan with high sides. Turn on a burner to medium-high heat and attach a deep-fat thermometer to the side of the pan. Heat the oil until the temperature reaches 325 °F (163 °C).
• Fry 4 of the poppers for 5 to 6 minutes. Once the oil is hot, lower 4 of the jalapeno poppers into the oil and fry them until they're browned and crispy. Use a slotted spoon or skimmer to remove the fried poppers from the oil and transfer them to a paper-towel lined plate.
• Fry the rest of the poppers in batches and serve them immediately. Once you've removed the fried poppers, let the oil heat back up to 325 °F (163 °C). Fry the remaining poppers in batches of 4. Serve the hot poppers with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, creamy cilantro dip, or sweet and spicy sauce once you've finished frying all 12. Avoid storing the leftover poppers since the coating will become soggy.

JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Take one whole chilli and using a small sharp knife make an incision along the length without cutting all the way through. Open up the cavity and using the end of a teaspoon scrape out and discard the seeds and the membrane. It's very good idea to wear gloves when you're preparing chillies in this way, and make sure you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Repeat with all the other chillies.
• Mix the cream cheese with the mozzarella, season with salt and pepper then use it to fill the chillies. Push them gently to close them up and wipe off any excess.
• Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls or dishes and roll the stuffed chillies first in the flour then egg then breadcrumbs then repeat so they get a good double coating.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan until it reaches 160C. Carefully lower the chillies into the oil using a slotted spoon and deep fry in batches for around 2-3 mins or until deep golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to soak up the excess oil.
• Once the chillies are fried season them with pepper and salt and spread out on a plate or board so everyone can help themselves. Great with beer and a movie.
