12 fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise with stems and membranes removed
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese or 1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
8 teaspoons Emeril's Original Essence (posted separately by others members)
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup flour
sour cream, for serving

1
Using your food processor, combine cream cheese, cheese, cumin (if using) and cayenne until well mixed.
2
In a separate bowl combine eggs, milk and 2 teaspoons of the Essence (or to taste).
3
In another dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and 4 teaspoons of the Essence (or to taste).
4
Using gloves, fill each pepper with about a tablespoon of filling depending on the size of the pepper. I find filling all the peppers first before moving on to the next step works best for me.
5
Dip each filled pepper into the flour, then into the egg mixture and finally into the breadcrumbs.
6
At this point the peppers can be frozen on cookie sheets. Just pop into the oven frozen when you need them.
7
Cook at 350u00b0F for 30 minutes on a greased pan. Easy release foil or parchment paper works well too.
8
To cut down on the heat when eating, serve with sour cream.
