Light cream cheese
2 oz
Low fat cheddar or colby cheese
4 oz, shredded
Fat free mayonnaise
1 tbsp(s)
Jalapeño pepper

Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350ºF. 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. Halve jalapenos lengthwise and remove seeds. (Oil and seeds from the peppers can be irritating — wear gloves or put plastic bags over your hands. And don’t rub your eyes.) Stuff jalapeno halves with cream cheese mixture.
3
Place egg substitute in a shallow dish. Place cereal crumbs in a separate shallow dish. Dip stuffed jalapeno halves into egg substitute and then roll in cereal crumbs to coat.
4
Transfer jalapenos to prepared baking sheet and coat with cooking spray.
5
Bake until filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve hot. Yields 2 poppers per serving.
