Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 ounces of cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 (8 ounces) 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

  1. Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits. Spoon the mixture into each of the jalapeno pepper halves.
  2. Add the milk in a small bowl, and in another small bowl add the flour. In a shallow pie dish add the breadcrumbs. Dip the jalapenos first in milk, then into the flour, ensuring that they are well coated. Allow setting for 10 minutes. Dip the jalapenos in the milk again, and then roll in breadcrumbs.
  3. In a deep fryer (or deep skillet) heat oil to 365 degrees. Deep fry coated jalapenos in batches for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
