Instructions Checklist
  • Place whole peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until skin is bubbly and browned. Wrap peppers in the foil; seal and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes or until theyre cool enough to handle. Make a slit in each pepper from the top to the bottom. Remove seeds.

  • Fill peppers with cheese. Secure peppers with wooden toothpicks, if needed. Coat the outside of the peppers with some of the flour.

  • Whisk eggs in a bowl. Dip peppers into the beaten eggs. Coat evenly with the remaining flour.

  • In a heavy skillet, heat the cooking oil to 365 degree F. Fry peppers, a few at a time, for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden, turning once. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with salsa and sour cream, if you like.
