Preparation

Step 1

In a medium mix combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits. Spoon the mixture into each of the jalapeno pepper halves.

In a small bowl add the milk, and in another small bowl add the flour. In a shallow pie dish add the breadcrumbs. Dip the jalapenos first in milk, then into the flour, ensuring that they are well coated. Allow to set for 10 minutes. Dip the jalapenos in the milk again, and then roll in breadcrumbs.

In a deep fryer (or deep skillet) heat oil to 365 degrees. Deep fry coated jalapenos in batches for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
