Fried Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

BEST EVER JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Spoon this mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
• Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
• Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F ( 180 degrees C). Deep fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.

FRIED JALAPENO POPPER BITES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, bacon, hot sauce and garlic powder.

• In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, paprika, and cayenne. Set aside.
• In a second bowl, whisk together eggs and water. Set aside.
• In a pie plate, combine bread crumbs, Panko crumbs, and salt.
• Pour about 1 inch of oil into a Dutch oven. Heat to 350 degrees.
• While the oil heats, dip the balls in flour, coat in egg mixture and then coat in bread crumb mixture. If oil is not ready, place them in the refrigerator.

AIR-FRIED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Fill each jalapeno half with some cream cheese and Cheddar cheese. Place 1/2 a slice of salami on top of each pepper, wrap with a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick, if necessary.
• Layer jalapeno poppers inside of the preheated air fryer and cook until bacon is browned and cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.

JALAPENOS POPPER RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix together the cream cheese, shredded pepper jack cheese, bacon bits, and sriracha sauce.
• Spoon cheese mixture into jalapenos halves.
• Put the flour into one bowl and the beaten eggs in a second bowl.
• In the third bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, plain bread crumbs, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.
• Dip the stuffed jalapenos halves in the beaten eggs and then coat with flour. Dip in the beaten eggs again and then coat with the bread crumbs mixture.
• Heat oil in a deep fryer (or a large pot with a thermometer) to 375˚F. Fry a few jalapenos poppers at once, for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
• Drain on a paper towel lined plate.

JALAPENO POPPER DEEP FRIED

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a saute pan until crispy. Let cool slightly and then crumble.
• Mix the cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and crumbled bacon in a bowl. This mixture will act as the stuffing for the deep fried jalapeno poppers.
• Cut the stem off of each jalapeno, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds.
• Take about a tablespoon or two of the jalapeno popper stuffing mixture and fill each jalapeno half.
• Working on one jalapeno pepper at a time, briefly dip the pepper into the milk and then roll it in the flour to coat. Set aside and repeat with all the jalapeno poppers. When deep fried the flour will form the crispy outside that mark many jalapeno poppers.
• Once you have completed step 6 for each pepper repeat it again, starting with the driest peppers.
• In a dutch oven, large pot, or deep fryer heat the oil to around 365 degrees.
• Carefully place several of the jalapeno poppers into the oil, being sure not to over-crowd it. Let the peppers cook until the outside is a golden brown, normally about 3 minutes. Remove with a strainer or slotted spoon and let dry on a wire rack.
• Serve the jalapeno poppers with ranch dressing or sour cream.
