JALAPENO POPPER CHEESE BALL

This tastes just like one of those frozen stuffed Jalapenos from the grocery store. You can change the amount of jalapenos used here to suit your tastebuds. Personally, I like it spicer, but I made it for a family get-together and they are "sissies" when it comes spicy food! Please note that the prep/cook time does not include the refrigeration time.

DECONSTRUCTED JALAPENO POPPERS BALLS



Deconstructed Jalapeno Poppers Balls image

My favorite part of a jalapeno popper was always the cream crease and the fried breading. This recipe is super easy and lets the cream cheese play a bigger role. **Please note the preparation time is mostly chilling time. Confession, I am a huge wimp when it comes to hot food and as this recipe is written, it's a little more spicy than I'd prefer. But with fewer peppers you lose a lot of the flavor. If you love heat, you can add more jalapenos or use fresh instead of jarred which are usually much hotter. I serve with a mild salsa and ranch dip, both go well with flavors and texture.

Time 2h5m

Yield 18 balls

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces softened cream cheese
2 tablespoons jarred diced jalapenos
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Mix softened cream cheese, jalapenos and salt together. (I often further chop the diced jalapenos, but that's a personal preference).
  • Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Roll approximately a tablespoon worth of the mixture into a ball, then roll in the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the rest of the cream cheese mixture.
  • Beat the two eggs in a shallow bowl.
  • Dip each coated ball into the egg and then roll again in the breadcrumbs.
  • Line up the twice coated balls on a cookie sheet coated with cookie spray. I use parchment paper as well to help with clean-up.
  • Refrigerate the finished balls for at least another hour, up to overnight.
  • Cooked at 375 for 5-8 minutes. The crumbs should just start to brown and the coating crack a little, but the cheese should not be melting out.
  • They hold up best if you let them sit for a couple minutes before eating.
