Ingredients
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 8 ounce package shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon bacon bits
- 12 ounces jalapeno peppers seeded and halved
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 2 quarts oil for frying
Instructions
-
Mix the cream cheese, Cheddar and bacon bits in a bowl. Spoon that mixture into the halved peppers.
-
Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the prepped peppers first in the milk, then the flour. Make sure the peppers have a good coating of each, then let them dry for about 10 minutes.
-
Dip the peppers in the milk again and roll them around in the breadcrumbs. Let them dry again, then repeat until the whole surface of the pepper is coated.
-
Heat the oil to 365 F in a medium skillet. Deep fry the peppers for 2 to 3 minutes each, until they're golden brown. Take the peppers out of the oil and let them drain on a paper towel.
