Ingredients

  • 8-10 jalapenos, cut lengthwise, seeds removed and discarded
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 cups seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Once the jalapenos have been prepped, dry each jalapeno half really well with paper towels and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer to cream the cream cheese. Add the goat cheese and beat into the cream cheese.
  • Next, add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, basil, black pepper, and salt. Beat to combine.
  • Lastly, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • To assemble the poppers, use a small spatula to fill in the cavity of each jalapeno. Mound the cheese mixture. All of the cheese should be evenly distributed among the jalapenos. Set aside.
  • Pour the breadcrumb mixture into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the water.
  • Next, working with one jalapeno popper at a time, roll it into the egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat and set the prepared popper onto a sheet pan.
  • Once done, place in freezer for one hour.
  • When ready to fry, heat oil to 350 degrees.
  • Fry the poppers in batches. Lower four or five poppers into the oil and allow them to fry until golden brown. Turn them over and fry them for another minute or two. Remove from the oil and place onto a wire cooling rack with a sheet pan underneath to catch any oil that drops.
  • Plate, garnish, and serve immediately or place in 200 degree oven to keep warm.

Notes

If you don't care for goat cheese, you can use cream cheese instead.  Goat cheese provides a creamy consistency.
