Classic Jalapeño Poppers Recipe: Jalapeño poppers are a great way to get a party started, and this classic, no-frills recipe is no exception. This homemade jalapeño poppers recipe was made by taking the best features of three or four other popper recipes and combining them to make something that tastes wonderful. A frequent request at my house, and at others.

I usually make 100 and put them in the fridge. They don’t last long so increase the recipe as necessary. Adjust the amount of bacon bits and type of shredded cheese to taste. Lots of tests will help you figure out the best way you like your jalapeño poppers.

Classic Jalapeño Poppers Recipe

Ingredients

  • 20 jalapeños
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

  • Mix the cream cheese, cheddar, salt, and garlic powder until smooth.
  • Slice the tops off of the jalapeños, and remove the seeds and membranes. Fill each jalapeño with as much cheese filling as it will hold, then push the filling down so it’s level with the top.
  • Dip each filled pepper into the milk, then into the flour, tossing to coat evenly. Set the floured peppers on a foil-covered baking sheet, and let them rest for 10 minutes.
  • After, dip each floured pepper back into the milk, and then into the breadcrumbs, making sure they are entirely coated. Let the peppers rest for another 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil to 380 F.
  • Fry a few peppers at a time for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Drain the jalapeño poppers on paper towels, and serve warm.
