Sour Cream-and-Onion Jalapeno Poppers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 5 -ounce package garlic-and-herb cheese spread (such as Boursin), at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 6 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 12 medium jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded (stems intact)
- 8 cups sour cream-and-onion potato chips (about 7 ounces)
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer the onion to a bowl and add the sour cream, cheese spread, mozzarella, chives, onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Stir to combine; season with salt.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture in each jalapeno half.
- Put the potato chips in a large resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin to make coarse crumbs.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
- Whisk the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl.
- Whisk the eggs in another shallow bowl.
- Combine the crushed chips with the paprika in a third bowl.
- Dredge each stuffed jalapeno in the flour, turning to coat, then dip in the egg mixture and coat with the potato chips, pressing to adhere.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, filling-side up, and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Try serving these poppers with a splash of malt vinegar.
