Delicious!
Inspired from: http://tastykitchen.com/blog/2010/05/panko-mozzarella-sticks/
What you need:
- String Cheese cut in half
- Jalapenos halved, de seeded and membranes taken out, cut in half again (so they're bite size!)
- Cream cheese
- Bowl of flour
- 2 eggs and a bit of milk mixed together in another bowl.
- Panko crumbs and some parsley flakes in another bowl
- Marinara sauce for dipping if you like that sort of thing
Directions:
For the jalapeno poppers, spread a very thick layer of cream cheese on the jalapeno slice. Roll either the jalapeno/cream cheese mixture or the cut in half string cheese in flour. Then dunk it in the egg/ milk mixture. Then roll it around in the crumbs.
Next, and this is very important, put them on a pan and throw them in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. This makes it so they don't fall apart when you fry them and so the cheese doesn't cook too quickly and melt out.
Heat a 1/2 inch or so of oil in a pan. Drop in the poppers or mozz sticks and cook until browned on one side. Roll them over and cook until browned around (hehe browned around). Put them on a plate with a paper towel and then enjoy!
