How to Make Oven Fried Jalapeo Poppers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Halve jalapeños lengthwise and make a small slit to facilitate removing seeds and ribs.
  3. Remove seeds and membranes from jalapeños. Rinse and thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  4. Microwave jalapeños in a covered dish on high for 3 minutes to soften.
  5. In a food processor or blender, combine 8 ounces cream cheese, 2 tablespoons water, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro. Blend until completely smooth.
  6. Fill each jalapeño half with approximately 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture. (A piping bag is optional for neater filling.)
  7. Dip each filled jalapeño in 2 tablespoons honey mustard.
  8. Roll each jalapeño in 1 cup crushed cornflake crumbs, ensuring it's fully coated.
  9. Place jalapeños on a greased baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
