Wow! I had no idea what to expect with these, as with previous reviews I had no idea how these weren't going to make a melted cheese puddle mess all over my pan and much to my relief they didnt. They were fantastic! As a matter of fact I reheated some for lunch today and they were just as good as yesterday. I have to admit that I did use 1/2 panko and 1/2 breadcrumbs, as well as using Kraft's Mexican cheese blend instead of Parmesan, and the final admission is that I thought 3 Tbs of jalapenos was not nearly enough, so I used darn near a 1/2 cup of the jarred kind. My poor kids would turn a little red and say "Mom these are really good - really hot- but really good" then take a big swig of milk and pop another one in thier mouth. If that doesn't say "5 star" I don't know what does. I will most certainly be making these again, and I will probably use the same amount of peppers 'cauze I like 'em hot!

Well I thought that these sounded good and the reviews looked good so away I went. I used 5 large hot jalapenos, finely miced, ran out of bread crumbs so substitited corn flake crumbs. There I sat with this bowl of doubtful texture and I thought NO WAY but I perservered. I put the mixture in the freezer for 15 minues to firm it up a bit,. Tried to shape some of them like Jalapenos and some just cookie shape. Oh ye of little faith - they bake perfectly, they do not run at all and mine, because they were a bit larger, took 20 minutes - served hot with salsa on the side. Wonderful. I am now testing if they will freeze well. Thank-you Hey Jude for a unique delicious, easy to make appetizer I love it! — posted Sep 5, 2004, Added notes: l took these out of the freezer, had them at room temperature for apprx 1 hour, put them in a pre heated toaster oven at 350F 10 minutes and they came out as perfect as the day they were baked. first -so Double thanks - Oh yes I served them with home canned mixed sliced peppers - some serrano, some Jalapeno, some anaheim etc. nice balance

As written the recipe is not hot at all, so don't be afraid to try these! I too doubled the jalpenos to kick it up. I was using seeded fresh jalapenos, if you are using canned peppers the called for amount might be fine. I followed one of the other reviewers suggestion & refrigerated the cheese mixture first to make it easier to work with. I used way less than the called for 2 cups of bread crumbs, next time I will start with 1 cup. The end result was a tasty treat that I will make again!! Thank you for posting such a wonderful, easy appetizer. This is one that could be thrown together for unexpected guests.
