Jalapeño Poppers

Описание: This jalapeño popper is, hands down, the best I've ever eaten.
The heat, the creaminess, and the crunch are all... FABULOUS!
No matter how you spell it, it's a party in your mouth!

JALAPENO POPPERS

12 large jalapeño peppers, halved and seeded
1 pound bulk sausage
1 onion, finely diced
1/2 large bell pepper, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch green onions (about 6), divided, white part from green
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten with a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons flour
Oil for frying (Not olive oil)

Brown sausage in large skillet. Drain most of grease. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, white part of green onions and saute' until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, parsley, green part of green onions. Stir in all three cheeses until cream cheese is completely melted. Stir in seasoned bread crumbs. The mixture should be thick. Add a bit more bread crumbs if needed. Put mixture in container and refrigerate until cooled. The mixture will harden as it cools.

Prepare egg wash with salt and water in a container big enough to roll the jalapeños to coat. Put Panko bread crumbs and flour in shallow dish to roll egg-washed peppers in. Fill jalapeño halves, mounding the stuffing. Roll in egg wash and then in Panko bread crumbs. Let sit for at least 10 minutes before frying in oil.

Heat at least 2" of oil to 350 degrees in heavy skillet. Fry stuffed jalapeños in batches until deep golden brown. Remove from oil with slotted spoon and drain on rack or paper towels. Keep warm until serving but best served immediately. Serve with my awesome Ranch Dressing! Enjoy!

NOTES:
stuffed jalapenos can be frozen prior to frying - do not thaw before frying - use caution when placing frozen peppers in hot oil
*filling can be frozen by itself
stuffing can be used for a variety of other dishes such as a topping for baked potatoes, a filling for rolled pasta, a filling for potstickers, a stuffing for other peppers, a stuffing for chicken breasts, and on and on and on!
