Ingredients
20
jalapeños from 1 can(26 oz.) GOYA® Jalapeño Peppers
1 pkg. (8 oz.)
low-fat or regular cream cheese, at room temperature
2 oz.
shredded Monterey jack cheese (about ½ cup)
2
scallions, thinly sliced (about ¾ cup)
1 tsp.
paprika
2
eggs
Directions
Step 1
Heat oven to 450°F. Halve jalapeños lengthwise. Using small spoon or tip of small knife, scrape out seeds and membrane from jalapeños. Using paper towels, pat jalapeños dry; set aside.
Step 2
In medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, shredded cheese, scallions and ½ tsp. Adobo until well combined; set aside. In separate, medium bowl, mix together bread crumbs, paprika and remaining Adobo until well combined; set aside. Then, in separate medium bowl, using fork, lightly beat eggs with 2 tsp. water; set aside.
Step 3
Assemble Poppers. Using small spoon, scoop reserved cream cheese mixture into jalapeño cavity. Dip stuffed jalapeño in egg mixture, and then transfer to breadcrumb mixture, pressing breadcrumbs to adhere; transfer popper to greased, foil-lined baking tray (cream cheese side-up). Repeat with remaining jalapeños, cream cheese mixture, egg mixture and breadcrumbs. Using pastry brush, lightly brush tops of poppers with olive oil.
Step 4
Bake until breadcrumbs are golden brown and crisp and cream cheese is hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
