To prepare the peppers for stuffing:
Make a split lengthwise along peppers and remove the seeds and veins.
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic, cilantro, cayenne pepper and cheddar cheese. Stuff jalapenos with cheese mixture.
In three bowls, add the following:
Bowl 1: Mix together eggs and milk.
Bowl 2: Add the flour.
Bowl 3: Add the bread crumbs.
Take a stuffed jalapeno and coat in flour, then egg mixture and finally the bread crumbs and set aside. Repeat this process for the remaining peppers.
In a large frying pan, heat about 2 inches of canola oil to 350 degrees F. Using tongs, carefully fry peppers in small batches until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels.
