Ingredients

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 15 fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.

Combine cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and mayonnaise in a medium bowl; stuff into jalapeño halves.

Step 3

Whisk eggs and milk together in a small bowl. Place crushed corn flakes in a separate small bowl.

Step 4

Dip 1 stuffed jalapeño half into egg mixture, letting excess drip back into the bowl. Press into crushed corn flakes to coat; place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining stuffed jalapeños.
