Answers:
try this recipe, my brother makes them all the time
INGREDIENTS
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon bacon bits
12 ounces jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 quarts oil for frying
DIRECTIONS
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.
good luck!
First cover the peppers with flour, then the batter it will stick better i promise!
Jalapeno Poppers
24 fresh jalapeno peppers
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 cups vege. oil, for frying
3 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups bread crumbs
Stem jalapenos and carefully remove seeds and membrane. Stuff peppers with cheese. Heat oil in deep-fat fryer or large pot to 375. Meanwhile, place eggs in small bowl. Place crubs in shalow pan. Drop 4 peppers in eggs; toss to coat. Using fork, lift 1 pepper at a time out of egg, shaking off excess. Drop into crumbs; toss to coat. Place on sheet pan. when all peppers are coated, set aside for 15 minutes to set up and dry. Repeat with remaining peppers. With slotted spoon, slip peppers, 5 ot 6 at a time, into hot oil. Fry 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Remove to platter lined with peper toweling to drain. Repeat with remaining peppers. Serve immediately.
if you are using pepper slices, like in a jar, you won't be able to make this recipe.
i would place the peppers on a cookie sheet,sprinkle with grated cheese and bake until the cheese melts. then top with spoonful of sour cream and surround with nacho chips and serve.
