How to Make It

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