Jalapeno Show Stoppers
Serves 2

INGREDIENTS
Stuffed Jalapenos:
5 whole, fresh jalapenos
1 cup Bran Flakes cereal
¼ cup Egg Substitute
½ cup fat-free cream cheese
¼ cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
Optional: salt, pepper and/or garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS
Stuffed Jalapenos:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Halve the jalapenos lengthwise, and remove the seeds, stems, and membranes (Be VERY careful when handling jalapenos; wash hands frequently and well, and avoid touching your face and eyes).
Wash the halves and dry them very well; set aside.
Next, stir to combine cream cheese and cheese shreds. If desired, season cheese mixture with salt, pepper, and/or garlic powder.
Using a blender, grind Bran Flakes to a breadcrumb-like consistency. If you like, season crumbs with salt, pepper, and/or garlic powder.
Place crumbs in one small dish and egg substitute in another.
Stuff each pepper half with cheese mixture.

Next, carefully coat both sides of each pepper half with egg substitute (you can just dunk them in it), and then toss them in the Bran Flake crumbs. Give them a nice even coat of the crumbs.
Place the peppers on a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray, and place in oven. You can line the pan with foil and spray the foil with nonstick spray to make clean up easier.

Cook for 25 minutes to 30 minutes. The heat/spice level diminishes a bit as they cook so adjust the cooking time according to your tolerance to the heat.
