Ingredients
- 4 Jalapenos (Kakanui Produce)
- ½ block (their small blocks or a handful) Farmhouse Brie (Evansdale Cheese)
- 3 rashes middle Bacon (Leckies Butchery)
- ¼ cup cream (Holy Cow)
- 1 egg (Agreeable Nature Free Range Eggs)
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ¾ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon each salt, pepper, and smoked paprika
- 1 cup coconut oil
Jalapeno Poppers
Method
- 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
- 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! Place the egg (lightly whisked), flour, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls or plates ready to crumb
- Mix the salt, pepper, and paprika into the flour
- Fill the jalapenos with the cheese mix, and crumb them by rolling in the flour mix, followed by the egg, followed by the crumbs
- Do this process twice to double crumb them
- Be sure that they are well covered down the seam where they were filled
- 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!
