CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Jalapeno Swappers
Pop 'Til Ya Drop!
HG loves a challenge, and coming up with a rockin' swap for this cheesy fried
finger food was slightly tricky. Luckily, our favorite fiber-packed cereal saved
the day (as usual). BTW, if you've never tried fake-frying by baking items
covered in low-calorie cereal crumbs, DO IT NOW!!! (Sorry, got carried away
there.) HG Tip: Bake up a batch (or two - they'll go fast!) this Super Bowl
Sunday, and you and your poppers will be the life of the party. Touchdown,
HG!
Ingredients:
5 whole, fresh jalapenos
1/4 cup fat-free cream cheese
1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Fiber One Original bran cereal
1/4 cup Egg Beaters Original
Optional: salt, pepper and/or garlic powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve the jalapenos lengthwise, and remove
the seeds, stems, and membranes (HG Heads Up: Be VERY careful when
handling jalapenos; wash hands frequently and well, and avoid touching your
face and eyes). Wash 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 Fiber
One 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
Beaters in another. Stuff each pepper half with cheese mixture. Next,
carefully coat both sides of each pepper half with Egg Beaters, and then with
Fiber One crumbs. Place peppers on a baking pan sprayed with nonstick
spray, and place in oven. Cook for 25 minutes (for very spicy poppers) to 30
minutes (medium-hot poppers). Makes 10 poppers.

FIGHT IT!
Arby's Jalapeno Bites, Regular Size
Jalapeno Floppers
Here's the scoop. In this bar favorite, bite-sized hot peppers are stuffed with
cheesy goo, dunked in egg, flour and breadcrumbs, and then fried to a
crispy, oily finish. Yikes. It's no wonder that just a few of these crazy critters
add up to hundreds of fatty calories! Don't get us wrong; we're ALL FOR
fried, cheesy things with a spicy kick -- IF they're low in calories and high in
fiber. Yeah, we know that's a tall order, but HG can fill it (did you have any
doubt?). So skip the fast food poppers and their freakish 21 grams of fat.
And pop some of our Jalapeno Swappers instead!
