HG loves a challenge, and coming up with a rockin' swap for this cheesy fried finger food was slightly tricky. Luckily, our favorite fiber-packed cereal saved the day (as usual). BTW, if you've never tried fake-frying by baking items covered in low-calorie cereal crumbs, DO IT NOW!!! (Sorry, got carried away there.) HG Tip: Bake up a batch (or two - they'll go fast!) this Super Bowl Sunday, and you and your poppers will be the life of the party. Touchdown, HG!
Ingredients:
5 whole, fresh jalapenos
1/4 cup fat-free cream cheese
1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Fiber One cereal
1/4 cup Egg Beaters, Original
Optional: salt, pepper and/or garlic powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve the jalapenos lengthwise, and remove the seeds, stems, and membranes (HG Heads Up: Be VERY careful when handling jalapenos; wash hands frequently and well, and avoid touching your face and eyes). Wash halves and dry them very well; set aside. Next, stir to combine cream cheese and cheese shreds. If desired, season cheese mixture with salt, pepper, and/or garlic powder. Using a blender, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb-like consistency. If you like, season crumbs with salt, pepper, and/or garlic powder. Place crumbs in one small dish and Egg Beaters in another. Stuff each pepper half with cheese mixture. Next, carefully coat both sides of each pepper half with Egg Beaters, and then with Fiber One crumbs. Place peppers on a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray, and place in oven. Cook for 25 minutes (for very spicy poppers) to 30 minutes (medium-hot poppers). Makes 10 poppers.

mmmmmmm hey tim/chief....can your people make us these too!!!???? pleeeeeease! lol
hugs!0 -
These were awesome!! The only thing I would change is that the Fiber One cereal is sweet, which is kind of strange if you are expecting a spicy bready jalopeno popper.
So good though!! 0 -
Add some "hotness" to the egg beaters next time.
I'm so gald you liked them. I just might do these for hubbz but will use bread crumbs.. thanks for the feedback! :bigsmile:
~Joanna:flowerforyou:0 -
I am so trying these.0
-
I made these yesterday but they didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. The fiber one was not a good substitute breading... I may try to make them without the breading and just a bit more filling because I used really big jalapenos.0
-
How about using Panko?
~Joanna:flowerforyou:0 -
I'm gonna go with breadcrumbs next time for sure. They were good and spicy though, I made sure to season everything really well. omg the filling was fantastic!0
-
How about using Panko?
~Joanna:flowerforyou:
I had to look that up because I didn't know what it was. :laugh: That may be a good option; does it taste more like regular bread crumbs? is it healthy at all? I agree with keri that the filling was really good!0 -
I've never tried Panko but have heard good things about it.
