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 the right peppers: Look for firm, unblemished peppers that are about 2-3 inches long.
  • Core the peppers carefully: Use a sharp knife to cut a slit down the side of each pepper, being careful not to cut all the way through. Remove the seeds and ribs.
  • Stuff the peppers evenly: Use a small spoon or your fingers to stuff the peppers with the cheese and crab mixture. Don't overstuff the peppers, or they will burst open during cooking.
  • Bake the peppers until golden brown: Bake the peppers at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the peppers hot: Serve the peppers immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
