IMPORTANT – About Our Recipes
Ingredients
The first thing you will notice immediately is that our recipe does not have quantities listed for some of the ingredients. This is by design.
Jalapeños come in many different sizes and shapes (often depending upon the time of year). Their size, the cut you choose (see below) and your own personal tastes will determine how much cream cheese, bacon or other ingredients you put into each pepper. Use your tastes and be sure to experiment a bit.

Deep Fried Jalapeño Poppers Recipe
When you order Jalapeño Poppers at your favorite restaurant or bar, these are what you expect - and 9 times out of 10, what you get. That's good - because they are delicious. Better still - they are easy to make at home. Note - The ingredients for the breading below do include quantities (Read the "About These Recipes" Box above if you have not.) The included amounts are enough to do 30 to 40 Jalapeño Poppers.
Ingredients (See Box Above, "IMPORTANT - About Our Recipes" for Information about Quantities)
- Jalapeño Peppers
- Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
- Cream Cheese
- Shredded Monterey Jack Pepper Cheese or Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Dry Breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut the jalapeños into a boat cut. (Click Link in Box above to see how to do a Boat Cut.)
- Sprinkle insides of cut jalapeños lightly with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place the jalapeños on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in preheated oven. Cook for about 10 minutes. (Skip this step if you prefer your finished jalapeños to be more raw and crunchy.)
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly so you can handle them.
- Turn off oven.
- Spoon a generous amount of cream cheese mixture into each jalapeño. Mound it and shape it with your hands to make a nice, rounded popper.
- Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls.
- Dip a stuffed jalapeño first into the milk then into the flour, making sure it is well coated with each. Set aside and repeat with remaining jalapeños.
- Place in refrigerator and allow coated jalapeños to cool and dry for about 10 minutes.
- Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs.
- Allow to cool and dry again for about 10 - 20 minutes.
- Repeat step 11 and 12 as many times as needed to insure the entire surface of each jalapeño is coated with bread crumbs.
- Place in refrigerator or freezer until ready to cook.
- In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365°F.
- Deep fry coated jalapeños, 3 - 4 at a time (do not crowd), 2 to 3 minutes for each batch, until golden brown.
- Remove and let drain on a paper towel.
- Repeat until all jalapeños are fried.
- Serve hot with one or more dipping sauces (See Box Below for some good choices from your favorite Restaurants).
