16 poppers |
Ingredients
- 16 jarred sweet piquante peppers, such as Peppadew
- 2 Cheddar cheese sticks
- 2 slices deli ham
- About 3 cups canola oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the peppers dry with a paper towel and set aside.
- Wrap each cheese stick with a slice of ham, then slice the wrapped sticks into approximately 1/2-inch cubes. Stuff the wrapped cheese cubes into the peppers.
- Heat the oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F.
- Set up a breading station using pie pans or plates. Put the flour in the first pie pan, then whisk together the egg and 2 tablespoons water in the second pie pan. In the third, mix together the panko, salt and pepper. Run each stuffed pepper through the breading station: lightly coat in the flour, dip in the egg wash and thoroughly coat in the panko.
- Fry the peppers in batches in the hot oil until the breading is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. Serve hot.
