12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
12 ounces jalapeño peppers, seeded and halved
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 quarts oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
Mix cream cheese and Cheddar cheese together in a medium bowl until well combined. Spoon mixture into jalapeño halves.
Put milk in one small bowl, flour in a second, and bread crumbs in a third.
Dip stuffed jalapeños in milk, then in flour, making sure they are well-coated. Transfer coated jalapeños to a plate; let dry for 10 minutes.
Dip jalapeños in milk once more, then roll through the bread crumbs. Let dry on the plate for 10 minutes, then repeat dipping in milk and rolling in bread crumbs once more; make sure they are completely coated. Let dry.
Heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C) in a medium skillet.
Working in batches if necessary, deep-fry coated jalapeños until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.
Serve hot and enjoy!
