- Cut the top off the jalapeno 90 % of the way through. Using a pairing knife remove the seeds.
- Combine bacon bits, parmesan, cream cheese and pepper. Pipe the mixture into the jalapenos until they are just filled.
- Bread the stuffed Jalapenos by rolling them in the flour, shaking them off and then dropping them in the egg mixture. Then let them drip off slightly before rolling in the Panko.
