Cornflakes add a slightly sweet crunch to these fiery poppers. Want less spice? Replace jalapeños with mini bell peppers.
Ingredients
- 8 jalapenos
- ½ (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup cornflakes
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 2 large eggs
- cooking spray
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Halve the jalapeños lengthwise and remove the seeds.
- In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Cheddar, and garlic powder. Season with salt. In a food processor, pulse the cornflakes, panko, and paprika until fine crumbs form. Transfer cornflake mixture to a shallow dish.
- Place jalapeños cut sides up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Divide cream cheese mixture between jalapeños (about 2 tsp cheese for each). In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Dip each filled jalapeño in the egg and then in cornflake crumbs, patting to adhere. Return to baking sheet, cut side up.
- Spray the jalapeños with cooking spray and bake 15 min., until golden brown.
