Jalapeno Olive Poppers Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cans of large black pitted olives (or you can use the green ones)
- 2 jalapenos seeded and finely diced
- 1 package of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
- 1/4 cup of feta cheese
- 1 clove of garlic finely minced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 cup of bread crumbs
- enough olive oil to deep fry
Instructions
- In a bowl beat the cream cheese and feta until the consistency is smooth like frosting. Next add the sharp cheddar, garlic and jalapenos.
- Next use a pastry bag to fill all the olives, or you can fill a zip lock bag with the mixture and snip off the end.
- Heat your oil in a deep fryer or skillet deep enough to allow the olives to float in the oil. I usually toss a bit of flower into the skillet and when it sizzles the oil is ready.
- Dredge the olives in flour then in the egg then roll in the bread crumbs. Drop them into the hot oil and fry for about 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel.
- Serve them with ranch dip or whip up a quick spicy aoili sauce. Enjoy :)
