I have had a difficult time finding a poppers recipe using cheddar cheese and frying as a cooking method.. this may work for me although I think I would use bread crumbs instead of cornmeal for the coating. Read more . I sure hope this one's good! Ingredients:
24 pickled jalapeno peppers (think i'll try fresh ones) |
1 pound cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 large eggs |
4 cups corn oil for frying |
Directions:
1. Cut a short slit in each pepper.
2. Remove as many seeds as possible.
3. Slice Cheddar cheese into 1/4 x1 strips.
4. Stuff each pepper with a Cheddar strip.
5. Break eggs into a small bowl.
6. Beat eggs.
7. Combine cornmeal, flour and salt on a platter (or a paper towel)
8. Dip peppers into the egg.
9. Roll in cornmeal mixture until well coated.
10. Arrange peppers on a metal rack and allow them to sit for 30 minutes.
11. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
12. Using a slotted spoon, lower peppers into hot oil (in small batches).
13. Fry until crisp and golden, about 4 minutes.
