Jalapeno Bites

Here's a little snack I whipped up the other day for our open house. I needed a little appetizer and thought this might go over well. IT Guy loves jalapeno poppers that you can get at some fast food places, and these were a pretty tasty substitute. You can make them as hot as you like by leaving in some of the seeds. I made sure and took them all out because I wasn't sure how much heat people wanted. But they were very good....there were none left!

Jalapeno Bites



25 Wonton wrappers
5 - 6 fresh jalapenos
25 1-inch chunks of cheddar cheese
salt
1 egg - beaten
oil for frying

Slice washed jalapenos in half lengthwise. Slice off the tops. Remove seeds and veins. Cut each half into 1 inch pieces.

Brush edges of a wonton wrapper with egg wash.

Place a piece of jalapeno and a chunk of cheese on the wonton wrapper. Add a sprinkling of salt then fold the edges in to make a little package. Repeat with the rest of the wrappers, jalapenos, cheese and salt.

Heat oil to medium heat and fry the bites until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

 
Here's what you need..use as much 
of the ingredients as you like. I made 25.

 
Chop off the tops of the peppers 
and slice down the middle. Then 
scoop out the seeds and veins. 
You can use rubber gloves for 
this step to avoid "the burn". Ouchie.

 
Cut each jalapeno half into large 
chunks then chunk the cheese, too.

 
Place a piece of jalapeno and 
cheese and a sprinkling of salt 
on the wonton wrapper. Brush 
the edges with beaten egg. 
Start folding like this...

 
..then this...

 
..until you get this.

 
Fry 'em up and serve. Yum! And ole!
