If you’ve ever had a stuffed hot pepper at a restaurant and loved it, well, you’re in for a treat. An similiar example would be the jalapeno poppers at Sonic!
This version is baked, so it has fewer calories….
Stuffed Jalapenos
couple dozen jalapenos
2 c cheddar shredded
1 t dried italian seasoning
8 oz softened cream cheese
3 eggs
2 T milk
Italian seasoned bread crumbs (in a large ziploc)
Cut the peppers in half. DON’T TOUCH YOUR EYES!!! Don’t touch your eyes for HOURS! LOL Stir together the cheese and the seasoning, then spoon into each half of pepper. In a bowl beat the eggs with the milk. Dip the stuffed peppers in the egg mixture. Then toss the coated peppers into the ziploc with the bread crumbs and shake to cover.
Place the peppers on a cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 30 minutes.

No one ever listens, but it’s best if you wear rubber gloves when handling hot peppers. The oil seems to penetrate your fingers and stays there for hours, even with repeated hand-washings. It will burn mucas membranes if touched.
