1
Halve the jalapenos leaving the stem attached, de-vein and seed them.
2
Setting the halved jalapenos and bread crumbs aside, mix all of the other ingredients together.
3
Take your mixture and completely fill the jalepeno cavities to their brim and set aside.
4
Put bread crumbs on a flat plate.
5
Take jalapeno halves, one at a time, and roll cheese side only in bread crumbs and place cheese/crumb side up on a baking pan Once completed if you like a thick crumb layer, you can repeat this step.
6
If you do not intend to bake finished product skip the rolling part and just lightly sprinkle the top of the jalepenos with the bread crumbs.
7
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until mixture starts to bubble.
8
I like to refrigerate at least 1 hour prior to baking Sometimes I prepare the day before, cover and refrigerate.
9
Serve warm, room temperature or chilled with any or all of the recommended sauces.
