Poppers are a favorite of mine both to fix and to eat. I use egg and a
little milk, just like you were making scrambled eggs, then dip the poppers
in the egg and then in Italian bread crumbs. If the coating falls off, you
may be moving the poppers too soon after you get them in the frying pan. I
only turn them once or twice and I don't touch them until they are visibly
browning, then I roll them over by pushing them with a fork or I grasp them
in a pair of tongs and turn them that way. No matter how I do it some of
the bread/egg coating will fall off.
While we're on the subject of poppers, I stuff mine with either shrimp, ham,
chicken or sausage and always some grated very sharp cheddar and/or jack
cheese. Before serving, I cover them with salsa (Rio Diablo Mesquite Smoked
is my commercial favorite) and parmesan. I get lotsa compliments on my
poppers so give it a whirl and enjoy!! BTW, don't toss the egg. I always
prepare more stuffing than I need and while the pan is still hot, I quick
fry the left over egg then sprinkle some of the stuffing over the egg and
make the best damn omelet this side of ....... umm, this side of......,
well, never mind - its just excellent as a complement to the poppers.
