Title: Connola's Jalapeno Poppers
Categories: Vegetables, Appetizers
Yield: 12 Servings

12 lg Jalapenos; seeded and
-cut in half
2 c Monterey Jack Cheese
-shredded
1 lg Egg
2 tb Milk
1 tb Flour
1 ts Parmesan; grated
-or Locatelli or Romano
Salt & Pepper
1 1/2 c Bread Crumbs; seasoned or
-unseasoned
Vegetable Oil
-for deep frying

Wash jalapenos, cut in half and take out seeds. Stuff each half with
grated jack cheese. In shallow bowl, mix flour, egg, parmesan, milk, salt &
pepper to taste. Place breadcrumbs in flat dish. Dip jalapeno in egg
mixture and then in breadcrumbs. Place in freezer for 1/2 hour. Take out
of freezer and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. The seasoned
breadcrumb will give you more flavor and since it is salted, you don't need
to add much salt to the egg mixture. The unseasoned breadcrumb will give
your coating more of a firm consistency when fried.

VARIATIONS: Use jack cheese with pimentos for a mild flavor, or jalapenos
for a double inferno. Also, add some chili powder and/or cumin to the egg
mixture for a more "Mexican" type flavor. From: Connie Rizzo
