4 cups vegetable oil for frying
8 slices thick cut white bread
Filling
6 ounces (3/4 package) cream cheese, softened
2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely diced
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
herbs (oregano, basil, thyme) and garlic to taste (optional)
Batter
1 large egg
1 cup flour
1 cup & 1 tbsp water (can substitute beer or milk)
1 dash garlic powder(optional)
Powdered sugar for dusting
Berry preserves(blueberry, raspberry, strawberry or lingonberry)for dipping

1
Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in a deep-fryer, wok or large saucepan to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
2
Mix cream cheese, cheddar, jalapeno peppers (& herbs and garlic if using)and set aside. If you wish, you may blanch jalapenos in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute if you prefer less crunch in your sandwich.
3
Mix egg, flour, water & garlic powder (if using) until a smooth batter forms.
4
Spread cream cheese filling liberally on four slices of bread and cover with remaining slices to form sandwiches.
5
Dip sandwiches into batter, making sure to coat all sides well. Deep fry one or two at a time (depending on the size of your fryer) for roughly 1 1/2 minutes per side (3-4 minutes total), until golden brown.
6
Let sandwiches settle and cool on a plate lined with paper towels for 3-5 minutes.
7
When sufficiently cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve with berry preserves of your choice.
