Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 4 fresh jalapenos sliced in half lengthwise, seeds and stems removed
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 - 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more as needed
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Divide cream cheese evenly and press into jalapenos.
- Set up an assembly line with flour in one bowl, beat the egg and milk together in another bowl. In a third bowl combine 1/2 cup panko, granulated garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Dredge the the cream cheese stuffed jalapenos in the flour, dip in the egg and then press into the bread crumbs until completely coated. Repeat with all jalapenos adding more bread crumbs if needed. Place on a plate, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow to set.
- When you are ready to fry the jalapenos, heat 2 inches of oil in a pot over medium-high heat. When it reaches 350 degrees, or when bread crumbs sizzle if dropped into the hot oil, fry the jalapeno peppers until golden brown. About 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Allow to cool a couple minutes and serve.
