Jalapeno Poppers

6 Jalapeno peppers
2 oz. soft goat cheese
4 oz. softened cream cheese
Salt & pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups dry breadcrumbs
Oil for frying

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the whole jalapenos on a sheet pan and bake 15 minutes. Flip peppers over and bake another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and place in an airtight container to steam.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the goat cheese and cream cheese, salt and pepper. When peppers have cooled, rinse off the skins, cut off the tops, scoop out the seeds and ribs, and fill with equal parts of the cheese mixture. Dip in the egg, then breadcrumbs, egg again, then breadcrumbs again, shaking off the excess in-between.
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large cast iron skillet. Carefully drop in the stuffed peppers and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Serve hot or at room temperature.

*I have just recently been really getting into spicy food. This fun appetizer is perfect for all you spice-lovers out there! It also makes a great Superbowl Party appetizer!! The cool creamy oat cheese and cream cheese is a perfect contrast to the spicy sweet jalapeno pepper. I have seen other poppers stuffed with just cheese, but I like the cream cheese mixture myself. Roasting the peppers beforehand gives the peppers a nice rich deep flavor. Make lots of these because they will disappear fast!
