Four Cheese Jalapeno Poppers Recipe - Chili Pepper Madness (2024)

FAQs

How do you get the batter to stick to jalapeno poppers? ›

A lot of recipes I found make the mistake of breading the jalapeño poppers with just a dip in milk followed by breadcrumbs, but it's hard to get a good single coat because liquids fail to stick to the pepper skin. To solve this, I do a double layer of dredging, first soaking the poppers in milk followed by flour.

The best thing you can do with any food is wrap it in bacon, and that is exactly what I am going to do. I figured the best way to keep the cheese from coming out of the bottom is to wrap bacon starting at the bottom and working my way up. I wrapped each one in bacon and used a tooth pick to hold them together.

Control the spice level: for mild-medium heat, remove all the seeds and membranes. For spicier jalapeno poppers, either leave some of the seeds/membrane in the jalapenos or add some of the seeds to the filling. Use soft cream cheese.

The Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

Poke the toothpick into the side of the jalapeno so it makes it easy to flip in the pan. In other words, not directly into the cream cheese part. Heat the jalapeno poppers in a large frying pan for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the bacon is browned and crispy.

Put the jalapeno poppers on the grill for about 6 minutes. Flip them over when the bacon is beginning to crisp. Turn down the grill to medium-low heat and grill an additional 10-12 minutes. Take them off when the bacon is cooked and cheese is melted.

A note about jalapeno heat: Most people believe that removing the seeds will reduce the jalapeno heat. However, the seeds actually contain no heat. Most of the jalapeno heat is in the cored out whitish innards, so if you'd like spicier jalapeno poppers, chop it up and mix it in with your cheese mixture.

The oozing cheddar cheese and bacon both release a lot of fat while cooking. Therefore, the best way to avoid soggy jalapeño poppers is to allow them to cool for 10 minutes before eating/serving which will give them time to stiffen up as they cool.

Use the FEBuary method of breading--F=flour, E=eggs, B=breadcrumbs. Coat a few peppers at at time in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the breadcrumbs pressing to make sure the coating sticks.

To coat the jalapenos, dip them first into the flour, then the egg and finally into the panko. You may need to press them into the panko so that it sticks really well. Finally, heat the oil to 350 degrees fahrenheit and fry the jalapenos, in batches if necessary, until golden brown and crispy.
