Ingredients

Servings

• 8 piece Jalapeno peppers
• 4 ounce Cream cheese
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 slice Bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 piece Egg, beaten
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
2. In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Stuff each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture.
3. In separate bowls, place flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Dip each stuffed jalapeno half into the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, making sure they are coated evenly.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the coated jalapeno halves until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Transfer the fried jalapeno halves to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7. Enjoy the Webb poppers as a spicy and cheesy appetizer or snack!
