🥄 Ingredients:

For the Fried Jalapeños:

  • 8-10 fresh jalapeños 🌶️
  • 4 oz Brie cheese, cut into small pieces 🧀
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 🍞
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs) 🍞
  • 2 eggs, beaten 🥚
  • Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil) 🍳

For the Honey Drizzle:

  • 2-3 tbsp honey 🍯
  • Optional: A sprinkle of sea salt for garnish 🧂

🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Jalapeños:

  • Wash the jalapeños and slice them in half lengthwise 🔪.
  • Remove the seeds and membranes (unless you want an extra spicy kick! 🌶️🔥).

2. Stuff with Brie:

  • Place a small piece of Brie cheese inside each jalapeño half 🧀.

3. Coat the Jalapeños:

  • Set up a dredging station with three bowls:
    • 1 bowl for flour (seasoned with salt and pepper),
    • 1 bowl for the beaten eggs,
    • 1 bowl for panko breadcrumbs. 🍽️
  • Carefully dip each stuffed jalapeño into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs until fully covered 🍞.

4. Fry the Jalapeños:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat 🥘.
  • Fry the coated jalapeños in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per side) ⏲️.
  • Remove them and place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil 🧻.

5. Honey Drizzle:

  • Warm the honey slightly (just a few seconds in the microwave) to make it easier to drizzle 🍯.
  • Drizzle the warm honey generously over the fried jalapeños.

6. Serve:

  • Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra touch of flavor 🧂.
  • Serve the fried jalapeños immediately, and enjoy the perfect balance of spicy, creamy, and sweet! 🌶️🧀🍯

✨ Tips for Perfection:

  • For an extra creamy touch, try using a creamy Brie or a soft cheese that melts easily. 🧀💖
  • If you love heat, leave a bit of the jalapeño seeds in! 🌶️🔥
  • This dish also pairs beautifully with a cold beer or a crisp white wine 🍺🍷.

🍽️ Enjoy!

This appetizer will be a hit at your next get-together — crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness from the honey drizzle. 😋🌟😍🤩
