Ingredients

  • 24 Jalapeno Chile pickled
  • 12 ounces Soy Slices (use Soy Cheddar Slices)
  • 1/2 cup Yellow Cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup Unbleached Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Eggs beaten
  • Oil for frying

Directions

Cut a short slit into each jalapeno pepper. Remove as many seeds as possible. Slice cheddar cheese into approximately 1/4 inch by 1 inch strips. Stuff each jalapeno with a cheddar cheese strip.

Place beaten eggs in a small bowl.

In a small dish, mix yellow cornmeal, flour and salt.

One at a time, dip jalapenos in the eggs. Roll in the yellow cornmeal mixture until well coated. Arrange on a metal rack, and allow them to sit approximately 30 minutes.

Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees.

In small batches, using a slotted spoon, lower peppers into the heated oil, and fry until crisp and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
