Cut the jalapeno peppers in half, remove the stem, and remove the seed pods using the end of a spoon.

Rinse the jalapeno peppers well to reduce spiciness.

For the filling, combine 1/2 cup of feta cheese, some cream cheese, and dill or cilantro in a bowl and mash it up nicely.

Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture, ensuring not to overfill; remove any excess with a spoon.

Prepare the falafel mixture by blending together 1/2 onion, 2 garlic cloves, cilantro or dill, and spring onions with some water until smooth.

Add soaked chickpeas to the falafel mixture and blend again, using some of the previous mixture as liquid if needed.

Incorporate 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder, 4 tablespoons of sesame seeds, and some bread crumbs into the falafel mixture to dry it out.

Prepare an egg wash by whisking together 2 eggs and some milk, seasoning if desired.

Coat the jalapenos in flour, then take some falafel mixture and encase the jalapeno completely with it, forming it into a shape similar to a scotch egg.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the stuffed jalapenos until golden brown, or alternatively, bake them for a healthier option.

For an extra crispy texture, dip the jalapenos back in egg wash and coat with another layer of breadcrumbs before frying.
