Love these poppers! I love jalapenos fried but I am trying not to eat too much fried so I baked these - wonderfull. I didn't use the eggs because I didn' coat them all over. I made the filling, steamed the jalapenos for 3 minutes stuffed them (used Denzils Hot Hot sauce) drizzled the tops with crushed cornflakes, baked(broiled for) for 15 minutes 375 oven. I know I would love them fried but ho hum we must suffer - they were excellent this way too Served with guacamole MMmmThanks Polly - a keeper
