Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 jalapeño peppers
  • 6 pieces of cheese (white cheese, mozzarella, or feta)
  • 3 eggs
  • cup flour

Instructions

  • Put the jalapeño peppers in a pot with water and bring to a boil. After that, take them out of the water and set them aside to cool.
  • Then, cut a slit along the peppers and carefully remove the seeds, attempting to keep the entire pepper intact.
  • After that, stuff jalapeños with cheese and close.
  • Toss them in flour.
  • Meanwhile, heat up some oil in a pan.
  • Next, in a bowl, shake egg whites vigorously until the beaten eggs are thickened, then add yolks and shake vigorously again.
  • Dip the jalapeño peppers into the beaten eggs.
  • Cook them immediately in hot oil, flipping them to cook both sides. Make this as soon as you can before the beaten eggs become undone.
  • Serve with rice and tortillas. Enjoy!
