Make an incision in the jalapeños and scoop out veins and seeds.
Fill with cheese filling, dredge in the flour slurry and then roll in pancko breadcrumbs. Do this twice for thicker coating.
Refrigerate for an hour to set.

In a deep fry pan, heat about ¾ of an inch of oil to 325 degrees F and fry jalapeño’s until golden brown.
