Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 fresh jalapeno chiles
2 1/2 cups milk
1/4 lb grated cheddar cheese
1/4 lb cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) can lump crabmeat, drained and checked for shells
flour, for coating
1 lightly beaten egg
2 1/2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon oil
3/4 cup dry seasoned bread crumbs
oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

  • Carefully make a lengthwise slit up the side of each chile and remove the seed sack.
  • Cover the jalapenos with milk and soak overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Mix cheese and crab.
  • Drain, rinse and fill each chile with cheese mixture.
  • Coat each one lightly with flour (this helps the coating adhere).
  • Mix together the egg, water and oil and dip each chile in the mixture, then in the crumbs.
  • Make sure all the surface is coated with crumbs; gently pat any loose crumbs into place.
  • Place the chiles on a rack, to dry at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before frying.
  • This is important, because otherwise the coating will come off while frying.
  • Deep fry the chiles in hot oil until golden brown, drain on paper towels season with salt and serve hot with salsa or your favorite sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose firm and ripe jalapenos: Avoid soft or bruised ones, as they may not hold up well during baking.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapenos: The oils from the peppers can irritate your skin, so it's best to wear gloves to protect your hands.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos: This will help reduce the heat level of the peppers.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the jalapenos: This will help you make clean, even cuts.
  • Stuff the jalapenos with a variety of fillings: Crab, cream cheese, and bacon are classic choices, but you can also experiment with other fillings, such as shrimp, chicken, or vegetables.
  • Bake the jalapenos until they are golden brown and crispy: This will help to ensure that the filling is cooked through.
  • Serve the jalapeno poppers with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or guacamole are all popular choices.
