Jalapeno Poppers

We had these for Superbowl Sunday and they were delish! They are 1 pt each.

Ingredients

2 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray, divided
2 oz light cream cheese
1/2 cup(s) low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp fat-free mayonnaise
8 small jalapeno pepper(s)
1/4 cup(s) fat-free egg substitute
3/4 cup(s) cornflake crumbs
Instructions

* Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

* In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese and mayonnaise; mix well and set aside. Halve jalapenos lengthwise and remove seeds. (Oil and seeds from the peppers can be irritating — wear gloves or put plastic bags over your hands. And don’t rub your eyes.) Stuff jalapeno halves with cream cheese mixture.

* Place egg substitute in a shallow dish. Place cornflake crumbs in a separate shallow dish. Dip stuffed jalapeno halves into egg substitute and then roll in cornflake crumbs to coat.

* Transfer jalapenos to prepared baking sheet and coat with cooking spray.

* Bake until filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve hot. Yields 2 poppers per serving.

Notes

* You can prepare the poppers a day in advance and place them on a covered baking sheet in the fridge. Cook as directed when ready to eat. Or, cook the poppers in advance and then reheat in the microwave.
