Super Bowl Pepper Popers

Post by chef97 »

Ingredients
24 fresh jalapeño peppers (about 2 lb.) Chef's notes: Be careful when handling fresh chiles use gloves or plastic baggies on hands.
1 pkg. (8 oz.) brick cream cheese, softened
1 pkg. (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
¼ cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
40 RITZ Crackers, finely crushed (about 1-2/3 cups) (I used Ritz crackers but you can use a different brand if you like)
2 cups oil
Proceedure
Cut lengthwise slit in top of each pepper; scrape out seeds and veins. Combine next 3 ingredients; spoon into peppers.
Roll peppers in flour; dip in eggs, then roll in cracker crumbs to evenly coat. Place in single layer in shallow pan. Refrigerate 15 min.
Heat oil in medium saucepan to 375ºF. Add peppers, in batches; cook 3 min. or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
Variation
To serve as stuffed jalapeno halves instead of the stuffed whole peppers, cut peppers lengthwise in half; scrape out seeds and veins. Fill peppers with cheese mixture, then coat and refrigerate as directed. Cook, in batches, in hot oil as directed, reducing the cook time to 1 to 2 min. or until golden brown..... As always, Happy Cooking!

Last night we made Jalapeno puffs. Wife got the recipe from pintrest I think. Finely chopped jalapenos, cream cheese and bacon wrapped in crescent roll dough. Came out really good. They didn't last.
