Steps:
- In a bowl, combine Cream Cheese, Cheddar and Mayo. Mix well and Set Aside.
- In a second bowl, combine bread crumbs and all seasonings (ingredients 3-8) Set Aside.
- In a third bowl, beat eggs. Set Aside.
- Cut end off each Jalapeño and slice into 1/4 inch thick round slices. (I keep the tips, not the ends, and make tiny versions of the bites but u can toss em also if u like.).
- Top each Jalapeño slice with a lump of cream cheese mixture, form the mixture and the slice into the shape of a gum drop or a short cylinder with the jalapeño being the bottom of it. The smoother the shape the prettier they turn out.
- *You can use as much of the filling as you like,.
- I usually do about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick depending on the width of the jalapeño slice.
- Dip each popper in eggs, then in breadcrumbs, make sure to cover very well in breadcrumbs and if you need to, double dip. ( if u get a lot of egg on it the first time u should not need to double dip.).
- Dry for 10 Mins before frying.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan to med/low, I do 4 on my stove and it's perfect, make sure there is enough to reach the top of your popper bites, you can not flip they or the filling comes out the top.
- Once the oil is up to heat, place prepared poppers in oil, jalapeño side down!
- Fry for 3-5 mins or until golden brown. If cream cheese comes out the top make sure to watch and remove that one ASAP so u don't lose filling.
- Place on paper towel to cool. Serve:.
- YUM =).
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm jalapeño peppers. Look for peppers that are deep green or red in color and free of blemishes.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeño peppers to avoid burning your skin.
- To remove the seeds from the peppers, use a sharp knife to cut them in half lengthwise. Then, use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and ribs.
- For a milder flavor, remove the ribs from the peppers before cooking them.
- If you want your poppers to be extra crispy, coat them in breadcrumbs before frying them.
- Serve your poppers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream.
