Jalapeño Poppers

I spent a few days at the Keys with my family, and on the way home, we stopped by a farmer's market just as we got to Florida's mainland.  While I was there, I saw some enormous jalapeño peppers, and figured that jalapeño poppers could be a really tasty snack for tonight.  Well, these peppers were not only much larger, but they were MUCH spicier!!! Here's how I combated the spiciness and made them into a deliciously cheesy snack.

INGREDIENTS
jalapeños
cream cheese
cheddar cheese
any other kind of cheese
one egg
a handful of flour

DIRECTIONS
Pre heat the oven to 350 F and grease a baking sheet

  1. cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds
  2. boil the peppers in hot water for 5-10 minutes, then quickly blanch them (immediately immerse them in iced water after taking them out of the boiling water)
  3. in a separate bowl, mix the egg and flour
  4. fill the jalapeño halves with the cheese
  5. cover them in the flour mixture
  6. bake them for 20 minutes
  7. let them cool and enjoy!!
