Jalapeno Poppers featuring Teese!

The nice people over at Chicago Soy Dairy sent us some awesome samples of Teese and challenged us to go above and beyond and make something crazy! This is what we came up with! Hope you enjoy!!

Ingredients:
16 Jalapenos, halved and seeded
8 oz. Cheddar Teese by Chicago Soy Dairy
8 oz. Pack of vegan cream cheese
1 Tbsp. Bacuns (veg bacon bits!)
1 Cup original soy milk
1 Cup all-purpose flour
1 Cup vegan bread crumbs
Veggie Oil for frying

Pre-heat oil to 375.
First off, shred the cheddar teese and mix with bacuns and the vegan cream cheese in a medium sized bowl. Spoon the mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
Next, Put the soy milk and flour into 2 separate bowls, and bread crumbs on a large plate. Dip the jalapenos that you've stuffed into the milk and then the flour until well coated. Allow them to dry for about 3-5 minutes give or take.
Once they've dried a tad, dip them into the soy milk once again, then roll them in the bread crumbs until nice and coated. Pop them into the deep fryer.
Fry for about 2-3 minutes. When they appear to be golden brown, they are all set!
Serve nice and hot with a side of Vegan sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce!
