I kind of estimated and adapted on alot of things in this recipe. For 8 Jalapenos I used about 1/2 c. shredded cheese and approx. 4 oz. of cream cheese.
Left out the cayenne.
Used only one egg and and about 1 Tbsp. milk.
For Essence:
I did about 1/2 tsp. of each of the following: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and cumin. The rest I left out.
In otherwords add what you like and leave out what you don't have or like. :)
They turned out good! To me sometimes these recipes get so detailed and complicated I just make them more simple and hope they turn out.
