6 fresh jalapeno peppers (halved lengthwise, stems, seeds, and membrane removed)1/3 cup low fat cream cheese (softened or use whipped)3/4 cup shredded fat free cheddar cheesepinch cuminpinch cayenne2 large eggs1 tablespoon skim milk1 teaspoon each of salt, oregano, paprika, and pepper mixed together3/4 cup panko1/2 cup flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
In one bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar, cumin, and cayenne.
Prepare the traditional breading in three bowls. in a small bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and one teaspoon of the spice mix (salt, oregano, paprika, and pepper). In another bowl, combine the panko crumbs and 2 teaspoons of the spice mix (sometimes, it is nice to add a little more paprika for extra color). In a third bowl, combine the flour and remaining spice mix.
Spread 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture into the middle of each jalapeno half. One at a time, dredge in the flour, dip into the egg mixture, then dredge in the panko crumbs, pressing to coat. Place the coated peppers cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, spray with a little cooking spray if desired and bake until the filling is runny and the crust is golden (about 30 minutes at 350 and then another 20 minutes or longer at 275). Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
