Method

Prepare Jalapeno:

• Prepare the jalapenos by cutting down the centre of one side (not all the way through). Using a spoon scrape out the seeds and pith. Set aside.

Make filling:

• To prepare the filling, cook bacon in a hot fry pan until browned, remove, allow to cool, and slice into small pieces.
• In a pot, add cream and brie and melt, stirring to combine. Add in the bacon, and a hit of cracked black pepper. This mixture will be stringy and wont come together perfectly, that is ok!

Prepare crumb coating:

• Place flour in one bowl and mix in salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
• Place whisked egg in a second bowl.
• Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Fill and crumb the jalapenos:

• Fill the jalapenos with the cheese mix
• Coat each jalapeno in this order:  flour, egg, breadcrumbs
• Repeat the egg and breadcrumb step to double-crumb. Be sure that they are well covered down the seam where they were filled.

Fry:

• Heat the coconut oil in a fry pan on a medium - low heat.
• Fry the jalapenos until golden brown, turning them with tongs, it will take a couple of minutes on each side.
• It is important to have the oil a nice low temperature to not burn the breadcrumbs before the chili is cooked and centre gooey.
• Enjoy!
