Ingredients

• 6 pieces Whole fresh jalapeños
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.75 cups Plain breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds and membranes. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 3

Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture. Ensure the filling is level with the edges of the jalapeño.

Step 4

In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station: fill the first bowl with all-purpose flour, whisk the eggs and milk together in the second bowl, and place breadcrumbs in the third bowl.

Step 5

Dredge each filled jalapeño half in the flour, ensuring to coat both the pepper and cream cheese surface. Then dip the floured jalapeño into the egg mixture, followed by a coating of breadcrumbs. Ensure the entire jalapeño is evenly coated. Set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain the temperature for consistent frying.

Step 7

Carefully add the breaded jalapeños to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the jalapeños from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or avocado crema, and enjoy while warm!
