Appetizer Recipes : Jalapeno Chile Poppers

Ingredients :

12 Pickled whole jalapeno peppers
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. flour
Two thirds cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp. garlic powder
Pinch of salt
One half tsp. paprika

Gently slice the stem tip off of each pepper and remove seeds and membranes from inside, reserving the stem tips. Combine cheeses together and place in a sealed plastic bag. Snip off the end of the bag and pipe the cheese inside each pepper. Place tip of each pepper back on the pepper. Beat eggs in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, combine flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt and paprika and stir. Dredge each pepper into egg mixture followed by breadcrumb mixture. Place peppers on a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips : Use light cheeses and your favorite egg substitute.
