Fried jalapeno poppers are spicy jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in crispy bacon and fried to a tempting appearance and perfect taste.
Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes, using a small knife or spoon. Rinse and pat them dry.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, filling them completely but not overstuffing. Smooth the tops for even cooking.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a strip of bacon, ensuring the bacon covers the cheese filling securely. Use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place.
In a deep frying pan, heat oil to 175°C. Ensure there’s enough oil to submerge the jalapeños completely.
Carefully place the wrapped jalapeños into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2–3 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and golden. Remove with tongs and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Arrange the fried jalapeño poppers on a serving plate and remove toothpicks before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
