BEST EVER JALAPENO POPPERS



Best Ever Jalapeno Poppers image

This is a recipe I made by taking the best of three or four popper recipes and combining them to make something that tastes wonderful. A frequent request at my house, and at others. I usually make 100 and put them in the fridge. They don't last long. Adjust the amount of bacon bits and type of shredded cheese to taste. Increase the recipe as necessary! Lots of tests helps to best figure out the way you like it. Be sure to wear rubber gloves while seeding the jalapenos -- they will burn.

Time 1h

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

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.

JALAPEñO POPPERS



Jalapeño Poppers image

There are many delicious versions of jalapeño poppers: Some are breaded and deep-fried, others use two kinds of cheese, and another, called armadillo eggs, calls for enrobing the cheese-stuffed peppers with ground meat and bacon. These easy-baked poppers are filled with tangy cream cheese - brightened with scallions, cilantro, garlic and lime zest - then wrapped with bacon for looks, salt and crunch. For a vegetarian variation, sprinkle the stuffed jalapeños with finely crumbled tortilla chips before baking to complement the crisp-tender chiles and the molten-cheese filling.

Time 1h

Yield 24 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 medium jalapeños (no longer than 3 inches each, about 2/3 pound total)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Scant 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 scallions, whites and greens parts, trimmed and very thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 lime, zested (about 1/2 teaspoon), optional
Kosher salt and black pepper
12 thin slices uncooked bacon (thick-cut bacon won't cook as evenly), halved crosswise

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jalapeños: Look for firm, unblemished peppers with a deep green color. Avoid peppers that are bruised, cracked, or have soft spots.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's best to wear gloves when preparing them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers. To do this, cut the peppers in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and ribs.
  • Stuff the jalapeños with your favorite fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings, so get creative! Some popular fillings include cheese, cream cheese, meat, seafood, and vegetables.
  • Bread and fry the jalapeños: This will give them a crispy coating and help to keep the filling inside. To bread the jalapeños, dip them in flour, then egg, and then breadcrumbs. To fry them, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and fry the jalapeños until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the jalapeño poppers with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Jalapeño poppers are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and game days. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a jalapeño popper recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy appetizer, give jalapeño poppers a try!
