This recipe was a bit more involved than some of the others - of which I have made in the past. But my family immediately noticed the taste was far better than the ones I had made in the past. They particularly liked the additional texture created by the breadcrumbs. If you're looking for a recipe that is a cut above the poppers most people make, you have found it.

This was a very simple and yummy jalapeno popper. It did seem like a lot of seasoning but since I have been cooking for awhile, I just cut back on the seasoning. I personally just don't like a lot of salt. But this is the recipe and people shouldn't try to re-write and critize it. The mixture was full of flavor and by scraping out the seeds and core doesn't take all the heat out. I used fresh peppers and let me tell you?? these little suckers were HOT!!! LOL I also made the huge mistake and using my fingers to scrape out the seeds and core. My fingers and hands were on FIRE for a few hours. I will be using gloves next time LOL

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.
