Jodi's Deep-Fried Stuffed Jalapenos Recipe

Cut a short slit into each jalapeno pepper. Remove as many seeds as possible. Slice Cheddar cheese into approximately 1/4 inch by 1 inch strips. Stuff each jalapeno with a Cheddar cheese strip.

Place beaten eggs in a small bowl.

In a small dish mix yellow cornmeal flour and salt.

One at a time dip jalapenos in the eggs. Roll in the yellow cornmeal mixture until well coated. Arrange on a metal rack and allow them to sit approximately 30 minutes.

Heat corn oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In small batches using a slotted spoon lower peppers into the heated oil and fry until crisp and golden brown about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
