Pardon if the measurements are a bit vague, but there does seem to
be a lot of room for variation here.

Some peppers. Cut in half length-wise and clean out stem, webbing
and seeds. (hint: wear gloves! The chilies can cause a burning
sensation in your fingers for quite a while if you don’t!) I tend
to be a wee bit on the sloppy side here. The webbing and seeds is
where most of the heat is, and if I leave a bit behind,
well…surpprise!

Cheeses: they use jack, cheddar and cream. I personally don’t
think cheddar works well but this place sells a ton of them so
obviously, not everyone agrees with me on this point. Cut the
cheese into thumb-sized pieces that will fit into the chile
halves.

Stuff the chiles.

Egg wash: 1 egg beaten with a couple of tablespoons of water.

Dip the stuffed chiles in the egg wash and coat with finely ground
bread crumbs. I like to let them dry a few minutes and put a
second coating on.

Fry in medium hot lard. (Yes, you can use vegetable oil if you
REALLY insist! But it’s not the same!)

They’ll keep in a warm oven for half an hour or so, but I’ve never
found a way to successfully reheat them. Once the crunchyness of
the coating goes, the magic is gone.

Chef Frank Brigtsen of Brigtsen’s Restaurant in Uptown New Orleans is
a fantastic cross between the classic bread pudding and Bananas
Foster, the great flaming bananas and ice cream dessert.

Preheat the oven to 300F. Put the French bread pieces into a 9x12x2
inch baking pan. In a blender or food processor, blend the eggs,
milk, 2/3 cup of sugar, bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon of
the vanilla until smooth. Pour this mixture over the French bread
pieces. Fold in the raisins and the pecans and let the mixture set
for 20 minutes. Top with small pieces of the butter.

Cover the pudding with aluminum foil and place the pan into a larger
pan. Add warm water to a depth of 1 inch in the larger pan. Bake for
1 hour. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 15 minutes until set.

In a deep, medium bowl, whisk the cream just until it begins to
thicken. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon
vanilla. Continue whisking unti soft peaks form. Cover and chill.

Banana Rum Sauce Heat a large saute pan or skillet over low heat. Add
the butter, sugar, bananas, cinnamon and nutmeg. Moving the skillet
back and forth, cook until the butter and sugar become creamy and the
bananas begin to soften, about one minute. Remove the skillet from
heat and add the rum and the liqueur. Return the pan to the heat.
Tilt the pan, avert your face and and light the liquid with a long
match. Shake the skillet until the flames subside. Add the vanilla,
remove from heat and keep warm.

To serve, place a large scoop of bread pudding in the middle of each
serving plate or bowl. Place 2 slices of banana on each plate and top
with about 3 tablespoons of sauce. Spoon the whipped cream over the
bread pudding and serve immediately. Walt MM
