By bonitariley

Ingredients

• Canola or Peanut Oil for frying..
• Large egg-roll wrappers (1 per each Popper)
• One egg..to seal the edges
• String Cheese (One stick per Popper
• Fresh Jalapenos (One per each Popper)
• Ranch Dressing..for dipping!
• The quantity is up to you..but make TONS!!

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Side Note: In hindsight I’d have par-cooked the Jalapeno somehow before stuffing & frying them. Either a partial char over a flame, or even a quick blanch in boiling water, just to take the rawness out of them. They were still d-lish, but I’d prefer the finished product to have a little softer Pepper inside! :)

If you choose to par-cook your Peppers..do that now however you’d like. Then skip to stuffing them with the Cheese!

Cut off both ends of each Jalapeno & slice them in down the center in half, creating 2 pieces. *JALAPENOS ARE H.O.T.~~act accordingly! ?

Remove all the “stuff” from the insides of the Jalapeno halves..making sure to get all those seeds out!

Add a stick of String Cheese in between those 2 pieces of the Jalapeno, putting it back “together” with the cheese inside



In a small bowl, mix the egg-wash (1 egg beaten with a splash of water)

Lay out a egg-roll wrapper and brush all of the edges with the egg-wash

Roll up the cheese filled pepper inside the wrapper..at a diagonal, just like an egg roll..making sure to fold in the sides good and tight!



In a large pot, add about 3″ of oil, and get it good and hot!

Carefully drop in a couple of Poppers and roll them around in the oil, until they’re evenly crispy and golden! Put those old take-out chopsticks to use..they’re PERFECT for Pepper Popper rolling! :)



Drain them on some paper towel

Serve them nice & warm, so they’re ooey gooey D-lish!

Dip them in plenty of Ranch

Take a heavenly bite

Repeat & Enjoy! :)
