BEST EVER JALAPENO POPPERS
This is a recipe I made by taking the best of three or four popper recipes and combining them to make something that tastes wonderful. A frequent request at my house, and at others. I usually make 100 and put them in the fridge. They don't last long. Adjust the amount of bacon bits and type of shredded cheese to taste. Increase the recipe as necessary! Lots of tests helps to best figure out the way you like it. Be sure to wear rubber gloves while seeding the jalapenos -- they will burn.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Spoon this mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
- Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
- Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.
- In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F ( 180 degrees C). Deep fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.

- In a pot of barely simmering water, blanch the pepper halves for 2 minutes, drain and dry thoroughly.

BAKED JALAPENO POPPERS
My husband loves these so much that each fall we pick a bushel of jalapeno peppers, fill them and freeze them. In fact we had to buy a second freezer just to accommodate these peppers. This recipe is courtesy of Emeril Lagasse. If you like these hot, leave in some seeds or membranes. The original recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon cumin but I do not like it so I leave it out.

Steps:
- Using your food processor, combine cream cheese, cheese, cumin (if using) and cayenne until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl combine eggs, milk and 2 teaspoons of the Essence (or to taste).
- In another dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and 4 teaspoons of the Essence (or to taste).
- Using gloves, fill each pepper with about a tablespoon of filling depending on the size of the pepper. I find filling all the peppers first before moving on to the next step works best for me.
- Dip each filled pepper into the flour, then into the egg mixture and finally into the breadcrumbs.
- At this point the peppers can be frozen on cookie sheets. Just pop into the oven frozen when you need them.
- Cook at 350°F for 30 minutes on a greased pan. Easy release foil or parchment paper works well too.
- To cut down on the heat when eating, serve with sour cream.

Tips:
- Choose the right jalapeños: Select firm, plump jalapeños with smooth skin and no blemishes.
- Wear gloves: Jalapeños can irritate your skin, so wear gloves when handling them.
- Remove the seeds and ribs: To reduce the heat, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños.
- Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings. Try a classic cream cheese mixture, or experiment with different flavors like chorizo, bacon, or shrimp.
- Breadcrumbs are key: Breadcrumbs help to absorb the moisture from the filling and create a crispy outer coating.
- Freeze them properly: Make sure to freeze the jalapeño poppers in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag.
- Cook from frozen: You can cook the jalapeño poppers straight from frozen. Just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Conclusion:
Jalapeno poppers are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and dietary preferences. With their creamy, spicy filling and crispy outer coating, they're sure to be a hit at any party or gathering. The best part is that they can be made ahead of time and frozen, so you can always have a batch on hand when you need a quick and easy snack or appetizer.
