Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh green chilies (large)
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 50 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the green chilies thoroughly and make a small slit lengthwise on each chili. Carefully remove the seeds and membranes to reduce the heat, if desired.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Using a small spoon, stuff each green chili with the cheese mixture. Ensure the filling is tightly packed but does not overflow.
Step 4
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Dredge each stuffed chili in the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To test the oil, drop a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil; if it sizzles and floats, the oil is ready.
Step 7
Carefully place the breaded chilies in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use tongs to turn them if needed.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the chilies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Green Chili Snackers hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch or spicy mayonnaise.
