Tuesdays At The Table - Crispy Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers

Happy Tuesday!  This weekend (Yes, I'm already looking forward to the weekend), I'm having my friends over for game night.  We meet once a month and all take turns hosting.  This will be the first time that most of them will see my home and since I can't disguise that the bought a money pit - my plan is to impress them with a new appetizer.  This is one that I can't wait to try out on them.

Lovely Yellow Ribbons

Crispy Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers

10 jalapeno peppers (the bigger the better)
10 ounces colby jack or mozzarella cheese
8 ounces cooked hot Mexican chorizo
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
Olive oil for frying

Remove stems from the jalapeno peppers and remove innards through the top with a knife and very small spoon (or a corer if you have it).   Stuff each jalapeno with layers of chorizo and cheese.

In a shallow bowl, beat the egg.

Dip the stuffed jalapeno peppers into the egg, then coat with bread crumbs.

In a deep frying pan, add about 1 inch of oil and heat thoroughly.  Fry each breaded jalapeno popper about 3-5 minutes each side, or until golden brown.

What's cooking in your kitchen?

    Those jalapeno poppers sound pretty interesting...but way too hot for anyone in my house to enjoy. Not sure I can try that one out around here. Thanks for sharing though and thanks for hosting this linky party again.
    Til Next Time,

    That sounds good. Don't worry - food and sports always distract people from housing imperfections :)

    My family loves Jalapeno Poppers and stuffing them it makes it so much tastier.

    I found your Tuesday at the Table link on another blog. I hope you don't mind me linking up to it.

    Your Jalapeno Poppers sound great! I love Chorizo and have even made it myself from a recipe that I found in one of my Frugal Gourmet cookbooks.
    This week I am sharing my recipe for Apple Oatmeal Muffins. The recipe is gluten free, but it can be made with "regular" oats and flour if you don't have an issue with gluten.
    Thanks for hosting!
