Jalapeño Bites

Description: These are a bit reminiscent of stuffed jalapeño peppers but much easier to make. I found this in the Junior League Celebrations cookbook.

Ingredients:

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 8 ounces grated parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons chopped jalapeno peppers
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 cups dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine the cream cheese, Parmesan, jalapeño peppers and egg yolks in a bowl and mix to form a paste.
3. Shape a 1/2 tablespoonful at a time into 1/4-inch rounds and roll in the bread crumbs.
4. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Serve warm.
