Ingredients

for 12 poppers

12 jalapeño peppers
1 block pepper jack cheese
4 eggs
2 cups
flour, as needed (250 g)
2 cups
bread crumbs, as needed (230 g)

Special Equipment

24 toothpicks

Preparation

Cut the top off each jalapeño and core it, scraping out all the seeds, with the back side of a spoon.
Fill the jalapeños with pepper jack cheese, either melted or cubed.
Place the top back on the jalapeños and secure with two toothpicks inserted diagonally.
NOTE: Be sure each toothpick goes through both the top and the bottom of the jalapeño to secure it.
Dredge in flour, eggs, then breadcrumbs. For a thicker breading, double bread the jalapeños by repeating the egg and breadcrumb dredging.
Heat oil to 325°F (160°C).
Fry each jalapeño popper until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
Cool and allow extra oil to drip off on a plate lined with paper towels. Remove the toothpicks.
Season with salt and serve immediately once cooled enough to handle.
Enjoy!

Is a great recipe and please don’t use a hot glue gun. In this video they use a Fondoodler a product designed for this.

Ok, I’m just saying, did anyone else notice that they used a hot glue gun to full it with the cheese?? They probably put a cheesestick where the glue should go 🤦‍♀️
