Jalapeno Poppers image

An excellent party appetizer. Just make sure you have plenty of tequila on hand to put out the fire (or add to it!)

Categories     Peppers

Time 1h10m

Yield 24 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 12

24 large fresh jalapeno peppers
1/2 lb chihuahua cheese (Mexican cheese similar to Monterey Jack, which will substitute fine)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 cups mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 scallions, chopped
4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Roast chilis under a broiler or on a grill until outside begins to turn black and bubbly. Place chilis in a Zip-Loc bag or a container covered with plastic wrap and let cool.
  • Grate cheese and chop cilantro, mix together and hold for later.
  • In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs. (This is referred to as standard breading procedure: first flour, then egg, and then into the bread crumbs.)
  • Peel skin from chiles by wiping with a dry towel or by lightly running a paring knife over the surface of the chile.
  • Carefully cut a slit lengthwise in each chile and then carefully cut out the seeds.
  • Take the chiles one by one and stuff them full with the cheese and cilantro mixture. Place them each into the flour, then egg, and finally, into the bread crumbs. Now you have jalapeno poppers which you can hold in the refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to serve them.
  • To Serve:
  • Heat a large pot with vegetable oil over low-to-medium heat for frying. (The optimal temperature is 325 degrees.) Fry the jalapeno poppers for 3-5 minutes until crispy on the outside and soft in the center. Serve hot with the aioli for dipping.
  • To make the aioli, simply mix all ingredients and let stand until you are ready to use.

I'm not a big fan of jalapeños, but I thought these poppers were delicious. The cream cheese and bacon really mellowed out the heat.

Overall, I thought the recipe was good. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the poppers didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

The poppers were a bit greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

These poppers are the perfect combination of spicy and cheesy. I love the way the cream cheese mellows out the heat of the jalapeños.

I love that this recipe uses panko breadcrumbs. They give the poppers a nice crispy coating.

I used a variety of different cheeses in my poppers, and they were all delicious. I think my favorite was the cheddar and bacon combination.
