Jalapeño Poppers
6 jalapeños
1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 large egg
1/3 cup unflavored dry breadcrumbs
1 pinch slat
Note: cheddar and cream cheese can be subsituted by goat cheese
Preheat oven to 325 F. Lightly oil baking sheet and set aside. Remove contents from jalapeños. If too difficult, cut them in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Place on oiled baking sheet.
Mix together the Cheddar and cream cheese and stuff the jalapeños with the mixture.
In a bowl, beat the egg until frothy. In another bowl, stir together breadcrumbs and salt. Roll each jalapeño in egg, then in breadcrumbs.
Place on a baking sheet. Bake until tender and browned, for about 30 minutes. Serve warm, with sour cream for dipping.
