Homemade jalapeno poppers with a perfect cheese blend for a spicy appetizer favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile pepper powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 10 jalapeño chiles (2 to 3 inch), halved lengthwise, seeded
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup Progresso™ plain bread crumbs
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions:
  • Combine cream cheese, sharp Cheddar cheese, cumin, chili pepper powder, onion powder, and garlic powder in a medium bowl until smooth. Fill each chili half evenly with the delicious mixture.
  • First, combine flour, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Next, whisk together milk and egg in a separate bowl. Finally, place bread crumbs in a third bowl. Coat each stuffed chile half in the flour mixture, then the milk mixture, back into the flour mixture and milk mixture, and finish off with a coating of bread crumbs ensuring the chiles are fully covered.
  • Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep fryer or heavy saucepan to 350°F. Fry chiles in batches for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. If cheese starts to ooze out, they're starting to overcook; remove immediately. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
