MENU Mondays: Unbreaded Poppers

Some rights reserved by lucianvenutian

I had some delicious crab-and-cheese-filled jalapeno poppers at a local bar, on Super Bowl Sunday, and it reminded me that there's really no need to bread or batter poppers; you can add hard cheeses, like cheddar or parmesan, or diced mushrooms, and fried, crumbled tempeh, to firm up the filling--usually created with cream cheese or queso fresco base.

Here's a low-fat version from a Spark Recipes contributor, which uses bread crumbs--omit those, and firm up the filling as you like...kitchen almost done for testing of these!
