Ingredients

  • 12 pickled jalapeรฑos, preferably with stems left intact
  • 3 ounces coarsely grated Cheddar (1 cup)
  • 3 ounces coarsely grated Monterey Jack (1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Canola or vegetable oil for frying

Method

Step 01

Cut a lengthwise slit from stem to bottom of each chile. Make a crosswise incision at stem end, forming a T.

Step 02

Pry open each chile as if it was a book to expose the ribs and seeds, then devein and seed using the tip of a paring knife to scrape the inside clean.

Step 03

Stir together cheeses, hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon salt.

Step 04

Fill/pack the chiles with cheese mixture, pressing seams closed after filling, so that cheese is compacted and chile retains its shape.

Step 05

Stir together bread crumbs, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in another shallow bowl.

Step 06

Pour the buttermilk into a high sided bowl or drinking glass.ย  Working one at a time, roll the chiles in flour until uniformly covered shaking off any excess. Dip the chiles in the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then coat withย  the bread crumbs. Repeat coating with buttermilk and panko to form a second layer.ย  Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chiles.ย  Once all of the chiles have been coated, place the baking sheet in the freezer until frozen through.

Step 07

Heat 2 inches oil to 325ยฐF in a medium saucepan. Fry chiles in 3 batches, stirring occasionally, until golden brown all over, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer to several layers of paper towels to drain. Return oil to 325ยฐF between batches.
