BAKED JALAPENO POPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
- In a bowl, cream together the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cumin, and cayenne.
- In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and 2 teaspoons of the Essence. In a shallow dish, combine the panko crumbs and remaining 4 teaspoons of Essence. In a third dish, combine the flour and remaining 2 teaspoons of Essence. Spread 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture into the middle of each jalapeno half. One at a time, dredge in the flour, dip into the egg mixture, then dredge in the panko crumbs, pressing to coat. If necessary, repeat the process. Place the coated peppers, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the filling is runny and the crust is golden, about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with cold beer.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

BAKED CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO POPPERS
After a number of unsatisfactory attempts at making deep-fried poppers, I modified a recipe by Emeril that is much easier than frying and everyone in our family agrees that these are at least as good as -- if not better than -- any fried poppers they have had! We love hot peppers and always make a lot of these from the ones we grow in our garden every year.

BAKED CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO POPPERS
For some reason I thought this recipe called for sausage, and I added a pound of sausage to the mixture. I ended up with a lot more filling than I had jalapenos (I'll post the recipe as listed). Overall, these are super fast and easy and taste terrific Watch out for jalapeno hands. I always say I'll wear gloves this time...never do and regret it as I get it in my eyes and everywhere else.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for medium-sized, firm jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or wrinkles.
- Prepare the peppers: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Be careful not to cut too deep, or the peppers will fall apart.
- Soften the cream cheese: Bring the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will make it easier to spread.
- Use a flavorful cheese blend: For a richer flavor, use a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan.
- Add some spices: To give the poppers a little kick, add some cayenne pepper, chili powder, or paprika to the cream cheese mixture.
- Don't overcook the poppers: The poppers should be cooked just until the cheese is melted and the peppers are slightly tender. Overcooking will make the peppers mushy.
- Serve the poppers immediately: Cream cheese poppers are best served hot and fresh. You can also make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven before serving.
Conclusion:
Baked cream cheese jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a crowd-pleasing snack that is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty dish, give cream cheese jalapeño poppers a try.
