Recipe Description

Have you ever tried to make jalapeno poppers as they traditionally are? Well, I can tell you, its no picnic. Seeding, stuffing, dredging, egg washing, frying…ugh, just too many steps for me.
So, after a little research and some ingenuity, we have Jalapeno Poppets.
Enjoy!

Preparation Instructions

Mix all ingredients but the wrappers and oil well, set aside.

Dip your finger in some water and wet the edges of one side of the wrapper, place about 1 tsp. filling in the middle and fold wrapper over. Sealing the edges together well.
Try not to get your filling into the seam.

In about an inch of hot frying oil (I had my stove on 5 out of 10 on the dial), fry poppets until golden. Take care and don’t leave them unattended! If one starts to burst open, just remove it from the oil or you’ll get splatter. You will have some casualties. But, some must be sacrificed for the good of others. =)

This recipe makes about 30 poppets, give or take.
You can serve these with salsa if you like, but really, they are great on their own!

Ingredients

1 whole Poblano Chile, Chopped Or 2-3 Jalapenos Chopped
8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Room Temperature
1 cup Shredded Colby, Jack Or Cheddar Cheese
1 clove Garlic, Minced To Taste
1 dash Black Pepper, Onion Powder, Salt
1 package 12 Oz. Wonton Wrappers
Oil, For Frying

Does a Serrano taste similar to a jalapeno? I can’t find any jalapenos in Holland and I’m desperately needing a replacement!

Serranos are a little different, milder maybe?
I really like them a lot.
Thats what I prefer to use to jalapenos.
hope that helps you!

another note here…I changed the “serrano” to “poblano”, I was mistaken. The serranos will probably be a little too spicy for most folks. The poblano is the kind of chili that they usually use for rellenos. They have a great flavor, a nice sub for jalapenos.
Sorry about that!

I bought all the stuff to make this EXCEPT the wonton wrappers. Sheesh! However, I had a couple of tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls and I spread some of the cheese mixture onto the crescents, rolled them up, baked them 10 minutes and they were FABULOUS! I’m going to try them this weekend with the wonton wrappers! Thanks for the great recipe!

I made these for my husband to munch on while I made dinner tonight. They were a huge hit! I followed the recipe exactly, but I put the filling in a big plastic bag and used that to pipe it on to the middle of the wrappers. I’m not normally a fan of jalapeno “poppers” but these were awesome.

The ones I didn’t fry up tonight I popped in the freezer to use soon.

Thanks! This is a keeper!

I’m practicing recipes for Xmas Eve Apps so I just cut this recipe in half…It was fab. I fried up six and then made up the rest for the freezer. I always hate frying things, but this was really was quick and easy. What makes this a great recipe is that it is so adaptable. I added a little green onion and used jalapenos. Mine were spicy! I had a new deep fry/candy thermometer that I was wanting to try out. I used the five setting on my stove and the oil was ready at 300 degrees for me instead of the usual 350. What a great recipe!
