Jalapeno Poppers Steam your chiles for 10 minutes. After they cool, cut a slit down one side and use a small spoon to carefully scrape out the seeds and veins. Next, fill the chile with cheese, roll in milk, then into flour, then into egg/water bath, then into seasoned bread crumbs. Deep-fat fry until golden brown, about 30 to 60 seconds. Yum!
