16 fresh jalapeno chiles
2 1/2 cups milk
1/4 lb grated cheddar cheese
1/4 lb cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) can lump crabmeat, drained and checked for shells
flour, for coating
1 lightly beaten egg
2 1/2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon oil
3/4 cup dry seasoned bread crumbs

2
Cover the jalapenos with milk and soak overnight in the refrigerator.
3
Mix cheese and crab.
4
Drain, rinse and fill each chile with cheese mixture.
5
Coat each one lightly with flour (this helps the coating adhere).
6
Mix together the egg, water and oil and dip each chile in the mixture, then in the crumbs.
7
Make sure all the surface is coated with crumbs; gently pat any loose crumbs into place.
8
Place the chiles on a rack, to dry at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before frying.
