Ingredients
- subheading: BREADCRUMBS:
- 4 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
- subheading: POPPERS:
- ⅓ cup whipped cream cheese
- ⅓ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- ½ cup (packed) grated Monterey Jack Cheese (2 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 12 medium fresh jalapeño peppers, halved lengthwise, seeded and deveined
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- pinch cayenne pepper
Steps
- Prepare the breadcrumbs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the bread in a food processor and process until fine crumbs form, 25 to 30 seconds. Place the crumbs on a baking sheet, spreading them evenly. Bake until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Prepare the poppers: Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a small bowl, stir together the cheeses and parsley. Fill each jalapeño half with 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture.
- On a plate, combine the flour, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of the black pepper. In a small bowl, beat together the egg and the water to combine. On another plate, combine 1 cup of the bread crumbs, the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, the remaining ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, the paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
- Dip each jalapeño half in the flour, shaking off the excess, then in the egg wash, and finally in the bread crumb mixture, shaking off the excess.
- Place the coated jalapeños, cut-side-up, onto the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly to coat with cooking spray. Bake until golden brown and crisp and the cheese has melted, about 30 minutes.
