Fried Jalapeno Poppers

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Appetizers

Ingredients

  • Canola or Peanut Oil for frying..not shown
  • Large egg-roll wrappers (1 per each Popper)
  • One egg..to seal the edges
  • String Cheese (One stick per Popper
  • Fresh Jalapenos (One per each Popper)
  • Ranch Dressing..for dipping!

Directions

  1. Side Note: In hindsight I’d have par-cooked the Jalapeno somehow before stuffing & frying them. Either a partial char over a flame, or even a quick blanch in boiling water, just to take the rawness out of them. They were still d-lish, but I’d prefer the finished product to have a little softer Pepper inside!

  4. If you choose to par-cook your Peppers..do that now however you’d like. Then skip to stuffing them with the Cheese!

  5. Cut off both ends of each Jalapeno & slice them in down the center in half, creating 2 pieces. *JALAPENOS ARE H.O.T.~~act accordingly!

  8. Remove all the “stuff” from the insides of the Jalapeno halves..making sure to get all those seeds out!

  9. Add a stick of String Cheese in between those 2 pieces of the Jalapeno, putting it back “together” with the cheese inside

  10. In a small bowl, mix the egg-wash (1 egg beaten with a splash of water)
  11. Lay out a egg-roll wrapper and brush all of the edges with the egg-wash

  12. Roll up the cheese filled pepper inside the wrapper..at a diagonal, just like an egg roll..making sure to fold in the sides good and tight!

  13. In a large pot, add about 3″ of oil, and get it good and hot!

  14. Carefully drop in a couple of Poppers and roll them around in the oil, until they’re evenly crispy and golden! Put those old take-out chopsticks to use..they’re PERFECT for Pepper Popper rolling!

  15. Drain them on some paper towel

  16. Serve them nice & warm, so they’re ooey gooey D-lish!

  17. Dip them in plenty of Ranch

  18. Take a heavenly bite
