Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

10 to 12 fresh jalapeño peppers or 1 (3 1/2-ounce) can jalapeño peppers
Cream Cheese
1/2 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon sugar
CAUTION: Wear plastic gloves when working with peppers. Do not touch eye area.To prepare fresh jalapeño peppers: rinse, cut in half lengthwise, remove seeds and stems, place in boiling water and remove after 2 minutes; drain well.
To prepare canned jalapeño peppers: drain, cut in half lengthwise, and remove seeds and stems. Fill each pepper half with cream cheese until slightly rounded. Place 1/2 cup flour in separate bowl, set aside. In a second bowl, beat egg with milk. In a third bowl, prepare breading by combining bread crumbs, onion salt, garlic salt and oil. Stir in flour and sugar until mixed thoroughly. Roll each pepper in flour, dip in egg mixture and then cover with breading. For a heavier breading, dip in egg mixture again and cover with breading a second time. Gently set aside until ready to deep fry.

Deep fry approximately 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. (Tip: Remove immediately if cream cheese filling appears through the coating.) Place fried peppers on paper toweling. Serve warm. If desired, serve with salsa.
