Slice jalapenos in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and put seeds in a bowl. Mix ¼ of the seeds with the cream cheese. Stuff the peppers with cheese and place in the freezer. Combine milk, egg, salt and pepper. After the peppers are frozen, roll in flour, dip in milk mixture and roll in bread crumbs. Dip again in milk mixture and once more, roll in bread crumbs. Press the mixture firmly around the jalapenos and return to the freezer until ready to fry. At serving time, drop frozen peppers in deep fat, at 325 degrees until they are crispy and brown. Have a tall cool one on hand and enjoy. Jo from Texas Submitted By ELIZABETH WOOD On 01-20-95
