Side Dish: Jalapeno Poppers

These baked and battered poppers have minimal points but maximum flavor.

Ingredients

1/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup shredded low fat cheddar cheese
1 g olive oil cooking spray
3/4 cup corn flake crumbs
8 jalapeno peppers
1 tbsp fat free mayonnaise
2 oz light cream cheese

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese and mayonnaise; mix well and set aside.

3. Halve the jalapenos lengthwise and remove seeds. (Oil and seeds from the peppers can be irritating - wear gloves or put plastic bags over your hands. And do not rub your eyes.)

4. Stuff jalapeno halves with cream cheese mixture.

5. Place egg substitute in a shallow dish. Place cereal crumbs in a separate shallow dish.

6. Dip stuffed jalapeno halves into egg substitute and then roll in cereal crumbs to coat.

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

8. Bake until filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.
