Crispy jalapeño poppers that are baked, not fried! Stuffed with two types of cheeses and rolled in crushed corn flakes. Crispy, spicy, yummy!
Baked Jalapeño Poppers
Ingredients:
6 jalapeño peppers, sliced in half (lengthwise) and seeded (12 pieces)
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 eggs
2 T. milk
2/3 c. flour
1 1/2 c. crushed corn flakes cereal or panko bread crumbs (we’ve used both and they are equally as delicious)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non stick cooking spray.
Heat a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch sliced peppers for 3 minutes. Immediately place peppers in a bowl of ice water to cool down. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
Mix cheeses together. Divide cheese mixture among peppers, pressing the mixture into each pepper cavity.
Pour flour onto a plate for dipping. Add garlic powder.
Beat eggs and add milk and place in a bowl for dipping.
Crush corn flakes and place on another plate for dipping.
Roll each pepper in flour and then dip in egg mixture. Repeat for a second coating.
Roll in crushed corn flake mixture and set on a baking sheet.
Repeat for remaining 11 pepper pieces.
Bake for 35 minutes.
Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
These poppers look perfect! Now I can’t wait to harvest some jalapenos from my garden! Yum!
I am so glad I found this recipe as I love jalapeno poppers! These are probably healthier than eating the ones sold at fast food restaurants. Saving for future reference. Thank You!
That looks tasty! Thanks for the recipe. I will definitely try this. Visiting from #SITS
Wow, your son must love hot stuff. I know my hubby would love this, but I’m still a light weight when it comes to jalapenos…lol. Thanks for sharing this on Merry Monday.
My husband loves jalapeno peppers so I must make these for him.
Thanks for the recipe,

I usually grill mine but, this is perfect for anytime it’s not hot and I can heat up the oven. Pinned & sharing. Thanks for sharing at the #InspirationSpotlight party. Have a great weekend & see you again soon.
I could definitely sink my teeth into these. We have a variation here in Greece where we add feta cheese.
These looks so yummy. Pinning. Thank you for sharing at the Snickerdoodle Create~Bake~Make link party!
These look absolutely delicious. The perfect hot and crunch combo. LOVE!!
