Description
American style appetizer made with spicy Jalapeno peppers.| Ingredients-1 | |
|---|---|
| 5 nos | Jalapeno peppers |
| 5 tsp | Cream cheese |
| ¼ cup | All-purpose flour |
| ½ cup | Bread crumbs |
| 2 cup | Oil (for deep frying) |
| Ingredients-2 | |
|---|---|
| 1 dash | Salt |
| 2 tsp | Water |
| 1 no | Egg |
Instructions
1. Take a shallow dish, combine egg, water and salt from table-2 and beat well. Keep this aside.
2. Take two similar shallow dish and spread one with all-purpose flour and the other with bread crumbs.
3. Clean the Jalapeno peppers, with the help of a sharp knife, make a slit and open up, keeping the stalk intact.
4. Using the back side of a spoon, remove all the seeds and discard.
5. Stuff each pepper with a tsp of cream cheese. (You can sprinkle some salt before stuffing, this is optional)
6. Heat the oil and keep it ready for deep frying.
7. Now line up the dishes in this order (Flour —- Egg mixture —– bread crumbs).
8. Take one stuffed jalapeno pepper, dust it with flour, then dip it into the egg mixture to coat and then into the bread crumbs. Toss gently until its well coated and sealed on all sides. You can either go to the next step and deep fry or freeze them. I prefer putting them in the fridge for about 1/2 hour in order to make them firm.
9. Drop gently into the oil and deep fry until golden.
10. Drain excess oil and serve hot with choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
PANKO — Japanese style bread crumbs have been used here, turn out very crunchy. Only disadvantage ~~~ doesn’t stay crispy for long time.
Any plain variety bread crumbs can also be used.
Use any type of cream cheese, onion & chives suits well.

Dear mullai ma’am, thinking to prepare this as an appetizer for a party, may be we will make around 70 poppers (35*2)so when should start deep frying it. Or what would be your choice of appetizer for a party’s both veggie and non-veggie appetizer for 40 persons ? Pls give me your suggestion ma’am.
Mullai, what kind of sauce/dip would be perfect for Jalapeno Popppers except Tomato ketchup..Or any kind of chuttney which would goes well ? B'coz 10 friends are coming this week-end and going to make this as an appetizer
Hi Shan, go with any type ranch sauce or any of those maggi brand hot sauces.
where can we get jalopenos in New Jersey?
Any supermarket or grocery chain should carry this produce. Check your local farmers market too. Sometimes, you can also see this at Super Walmart.
hey mullai i searched cream cheese but i could get it.can you tell me where did you find it here in usa?
Kaberi,
Its available in all American grocery store chains. Check any grocery chain in your area. It should be close to frozen aisle where they have the cheese and milk products. Super Walmart should have this product.

I have used Kraft's cream cheese for this recipe. Home made bread crumbs are equally good. Try and le me know.
