Has potential but needs help.

Pros - I very much enjoyed the crunchiness of the panko bread crumbs as well as the whole concept of baking versus frying.

Cons - The recipe is poorly written. Makes too much essence. The flavor of the essence does not shine and does not justify its use. The recipe is rather one dimensional in that by removing the seeds and veins of the jalapenos almost all of the heat is removed also. The recipe attempts to replace this by using cayenne alone. The combo or jack and cream cheese adds texture, but no flavor.

Recommendations - It would be OK to ditch the essence. Use a more flavorful cheese such as an extra sharp cheddar and either combine it with a pepper jack or add minced hot peppers if using a regular jack. This would result in a more dynamic heat, closer to that of a jalapeno. The cayenne could still be used in a lesser quantity to round out the flavors.

Easy and delicious. Perfect for our Super Bowl party. Made them early in the morning, spent the day at the slopes then popped them in the oven just before the game started. Perfect.

Well I have to say that your recipe should be written better; the word remaining should only be used once when talking about the same ingredient(s. I did not have enough bread coating to coat all 12 peppers, I only had enough to do 6. They did taste good though

Can you use pickled jalapenos or do they have to be fresh? Thanks!

Yum! I decided not to bread these, but covered them with bacon instead.

These are wonderful! I planted too many jalapeno plants this year and did not know what to do with them all. I love that they are baked and not fried, not sure about you but I don't want those extra calories. My family will not eat spicy food but they love these. I use a little less of the essence in the flour and egg mixtures. If you store the essence in a jar (like a recycled sauce or jelly jar it will keep well.Also be sure to wear gloves when handling the jalapenos, if you do forget to and your hands begin to sting squeeze some lime juice and rinse your hands in them for relief.

these were very tasty. the only thing i would recommend, is not making as much essence. i had a ton of it left over, I am not sure why they said to make so much. the next time i make this, i am also going to use a different type of bread crumb. the spiciness of the jalapeno pepper was reduced due to baking in the oven, but the cheese i got, which was Cabot's pepper-jack, made it very spicy. Also, the prep time took me well over 30 minutes, if i had to guess, i would say 50 minutes to one hour. i also got 18 peppers instead of 12 for a bigger crowd.

I am usually not very fond of jalapeno popper, but that's because I've never made these poppers! There were so good I really couldn't help but keep popping them in my mouth. Word to the wise though, wear gloves when making them! My finger tips are still burning and it's been 2 hours since I cleaned out the jalapenos. I also couldn't use the bread crumbs because I was in a time crunch, but I mashed up saltine crackers and rolled the jalapenos in those, and I think it tasted great, although the bread crumbs would have probably been better.
