12 whole jalapeno peppers

2 eggs, beaten

dash of milk

1 cup all purpose flour

2 cups breadcrumbs - or Cranky Jimmy's Coating Mix

2 tbsp. favourite Cranky Jimmy's Seasoning, divided

1 cup softened cream cheese

1/2 cup bacon bits, cooked

1 cup marble cheese, shredded

2 tbsp. ranch dressing

​

Cut peppers in half and scoop out seeds (wear gloves), set aside

 

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, cheese, bacon bits and ranch dressing. Fill pepper halves with cream cheese mixture and place in fridge for 20+ mins to harden the cream cheese.

​

In a bowl, combine flour and 1 tbsp. Cranky Jimmy's Seasoning (we used Original today).

In another bowl, beat 2 eggs and combine with 1 tsp of Cranky Jimmy's Seasoning.

In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs with remaining Cranky Jimmy's Seasoning.

​

Place jalapenos into flour mixture and toss to cover. Place in egg mixture, turning to cover. Place in breadcrumbs, tossing to cover. Set aside. Continue until all jalapenos are coated. Return to fridge for 10 mins or until dry.

This time skip the flour and place directly into the egg mixture, and then into the breadcrumbs. Set aside. Repeat until all jalapenos have been recoated with egg and breadcrumbs.

​

Heat deep fryer to 360 F. Carefully place the jalapenos into the hot oil and cook for 3 - 4 mins or until done. Sprinkle with some of your favourite Cranky Jimmy's Seasoning on top of finished poppers if desired. Serve with your favourite dipping sauce.

Sounds like a lot of work, but it's surprisingly easy.
