Ingredients
- 12 jalapeños

Instructions
- Prepare jalapen?os by cutting off the stem and removing the seeds and membrane without cutting the jalapen?o.
- Fill the peppers with the cream cheese.
- Meanwhile heat oil in a dutch oven to 375ºF. Place eggs in a bowl and whip. In a shallow pan add breadcrumbs.

Notes
We like to use gloves when working with jalapeño to avoid contact with our fingers and discomfort.
If you do touch your eye with jalapeño on your finger, rinse your eye with milk. It might sound funny but it works wonders. Trust me.
