📝 Preparation Steps

Wearing plastic gloves, cut the stem end off of the peppers. Carefully remove the seeds and white membrane and stuff the peppers with cheese.

Heat the oil to 375°F in a deep fryer or large pot.

Create a breading station by placing the eggs in a small bowl and the bread crumbs in a shallow pan.

Drop 4 peppers into the eggs and toss to coat. Using a fork, lift 1 pepper at a time out of the eggs and shake off the excess. Drop the egg-coated pepper into the breadcrumbs and toss to coat.
