The full, step-by-step recipe is below, but here’s a quick rundown of what to expect when making these homemade jalapeno poppers:

Half of the jalapenos should be seeds:

Cheese and Jalapeño Poppers are a popular appetizer that combines spicy jalapeño peppers with a creamy and cheesy filling. They can be baked, fried or grilled, and are a crowd-pleasing snack for parties or game-day gatherings.

Cheese and Jalapeño Poppers are easy to customize by adding different types of cheese, bacon, or even crabmeat to the filling.

Assemble the jalapenos:

Softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits are combined to create the filling. Pour the mixture into the jalapeno halves.

Float the jalapenos:

After soaking the jalapeños in milk, roll them in flour. After letting them air dry for about 10 minutes, dip them in the milk again. To thoroughly coat the moist jalapenos with breadcrumbs, roll them in the breadcrumbs. Once dry, repeat the milk crumb method one more time. Let the peppers dry.

Drain and sauté the jalapeños:

Heat oil in a skillet to 365 degrees F. Fry Cheese and Jalapeño Poppers until golden brown, working in batches. Drain on paper towels.

Draining and sautéing the jalapeños involves slicing the peppers in rings and removing the seeds and membranes to reduce the heat.

Next, the jalapeño rings are sautéed in a pan with oil, garlic, and onion until they become tender and slightly caramelized. The sautéed jalapeños can be used as a topping for tacos, nachos, burgers, or sandwiches to add a spicy kick and flavor to the dish.

INGREDIENTS:

• 12 ounces of softened cream cheese
• 8-ounce package of minced meat Cheese, cheddar
• 10 grams of bacon pieces
• Jalapeno peppers, seeded and cut in half, 12 oz.

CAN THESE CHEDDAR JALAPENO POPPERS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?
