Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and membranes, and pat dry.
In a bowl, blend cream cheese, cheddar, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Fold in bacon if using.
Fill each pepper half with 1–2 tbsp of the cheese mixture.
Set up a dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko.
Coat stuffed peppers in flour, dip in egg, then press into panko.
Fry in oil at 180°C (350°F) for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain and serve.
