- 2⁄3 cup fine dry breadcrumb
- guacamole or sour cream, for garnish
directions
- Cover a large baking sheet with foil; set aside.
- Cut each pepper in half lengthwise; remove the seeds and membranes (I always were plastic gloves for this, as the seeds are VERY hot, do not touch your eyes!).

- Spoon some of the cheese mixture into each pepper half.
- Beat together the eggs and milk in a small mixing bowl.
- Place the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
- Dip each pepper half into the egg mixture; and then roll in the crumbs to coat all sides.
- Place pepper halves (filled side up), on a prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 325°F for 30 minutes, or until tender and heated through.
- Serve with guacamole or sour cream.

I only made half a recipe since I only had 6 jalapenos left on my plant that were big enough to stuff! I followed the recipe exactly except I rolled my jalapenos in panko instead of bread crumbs... I made these to go along with another jalapeno appy and both were well received. I liked these better since I got more of the peppers in each bite, but the filling was quite rich for me. I think I would have liked more cream cheese and less cheddar, but that's my preference! Loved these dipped in Recipe #200268... Thanks for a great alternative to the deep fried delights!

ohhh yum. I halved the number of peppers since it was me alone, and i was a little afraid...that they would be to hot. They ARENT. perfect, yummy, just enough kick to them -next time i might add a little cayenne :) - cheesy, and wonderful with sourcream. Anyone who thinks that it would be to spicy eating a whole jalapeno..dont worry, even kids could eat these!

These are very good! I have an old recipe that calls for cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs, but I like the texture of the breadcrumbs much better. They didnt brown, but the flavor and texture was great. I only bought 5 jalapenos, since it is just my husband and myself and found we could have used some more! Great to dip in ranch dressing.
