This is a cheap appetizer that is delicious for any party or get together. Ingredients:
24 small jalapeno chilis |
1 (o oz) package cream cheese, softened |
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 large eggs, beaten |
1 cup plain bread crumbs |
salt & pepper |
Directions:
1. Wearing rubber gloves, cut jalapenos in half lengthwise with a paring knife and remove seeds. Leave stems intact.
2. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, Cheddar, and cilantro, and mix well. Fill have of jalapenos generously with cheese mixture; top each stuffed chili half with an empty chili half.
3. Warm 3 inches of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until it reaches 375 degrees.
4. Arrage 3 bowls on a counter. Place flour in one, eggs in another, and bread crumbs in the third. One at a time dip chilis in flour, then eggs, letting excess drip off. Rolle each chili in bread crumbs to coat. (Chilis can be made several hours in advance and up to this point. Cover and refrigerate.)
5. Fry a few peppers at a time in hot oil until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Return oil to 375 degrees before beginning next batch. Serve warm.
