Chive Jalapeño Poppers

METHOD

1. Combine cream spread and cheese together. Set aside.
2. Whisk 1/2 cup water with flour to create a slurry. The consistency should be thicker, like pancake batter.
3. Add breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well. Set aside.
4. Make an incision in the jalapeños and scoop out veins and seeds.
5. Fill with cheese filling, drop in flour slurry, and then roll in Panko breadcrumbs. Do this twice for a thicker coating.
6. Refrigerate for an hour to set filling.
7. In a frying pan, heat oil to 325 and fry jalapeños until golden brown.
8. Hold in a 325-degree oven for 10 minutes until serving.
