The cinnamon in this recipe gives it a slightly sweet flavor, and it’s a nice accent for the pepper heat. If you’re not quite in the mood for sweets, try removing the cinnamon altogether and increasing the amount of white pepper for a deeper, savory taste.
4-6 jalapeno peppers, chopped
6 large eggs
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
I cup plain bread crumbs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Add chopped jalapeno peppers to the bottom of a lightly oiled baking dish.
Spread evenly.
Sprinkle peppers with cheese.
Beat eggs and pour the mixture over the cheese.
Mix bread crumbs with cinnamon, salt, and white pepper. Distribute evenly over the egg mixture.
Bake 20-30 minutes, until lightly browned. Slice and serve.
