Cheesy Jalapeno Bites

You know how you love those jalapeno poppers?  You know how when you bite into them the hot cheese spills over onto your chin and you're in pain?  

Well, here's the answer!  Trisha Yearwood via Food Network provided this recipe.  I made these straight by the recipe.  Next time I may roll them in panko instead of plain bread crumbs.  These were super easy and delicious.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg, beaten

4 medium jalapenos, veins and seeds removed, finely chopped

plain bread crumbs or panko

Mix the cream cheese, Parmesan, jalapeno and egg to form a paste.  Shape into balls using about 1/2 T. of paste for each.  Roll the balls in the bread crumbs or panko.

Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve warm.
