Jalapeño Poppers

serves 1 - 2

Ingredients:

* 8 jalapeño peppers

* Cheddar cheese

* 1 egg

* Flour

* Breadcrumbs

* Oil

Additional:

* Cream cheese

* Bacon

Preparation:

Preheat your oven on 180C. You can also use a grill(pan) for this step.

Lightly spread some oil over the peppers. When the oven is done preheating lay the peppers on an ovendish and let them bake until the skin starts to blacken. Be sure to turn them around  halfway.

Take out of the oven and let it rest.
Meanwhile prepare one plate with flour, one with breadcrumbs. Seperate the eggyolk from the egg. Beat up the protein with a whisk until stiff. Now add the yolk and beat until mixed. Leave alone.
The peppers should be cool by now. Use a paper towel to peel the skin off, simply by brushing over the peppers. Once you got rid off the skin make a cut lengthwise and remove the seeds. The easiest way to do this is to cut under the stem and use a spoon.
Now fill the peppers up with the cheddar cheese (and anything else you'd like). Make sure the peppers are able to close well.
Now heat up a frying pan and wait until the oil is hot enough to fry. Now lower the heat to medium.
Roll the peppers in the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in that order. Shake off all loose bits.
Immediately place in the frying pan. Turn around and fry the other half. Make sure not to let them lay on one side too long as the breadcrumbs burn easily. Repeat for every other pepper.

I had this dish for lunch today and I must say it was surprisingly tasty.

I hope you will enjoy as much as I did. Bon apetite, and hopefully until next time!
