Ingredients
4 strips maple bacon, diced
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 ounces shredded mild Cheddar
Canola oil, for frying
12 mild or hot marinated cherry peppers, drained, cut and seeded
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Directions
- Fry the bacon strips until crispy, and then drain on paper towels. Mix together with the cream cheese and Cheddar in a mixing bowl.
- Pour about 1 inch of oil into a frying pan and heat to 350 degrees F over medium-high heat. Stuff the cheese and bacon mixture into the peppers using a piping bag. Create a dipping station with the eggs, flour and breadcrumbs. Dredge the cherry peppers in the flour, roll in the eggs, and then roll in the breadcrumbs.
- Fry until golden brown, flipping sides. Let drain on a wire rack.
