Cut a lengthwise slit from stem to bottom of each chilli. Make a crosswise incision at stem end, forming a T.

Pry open enough to hold back long cuts (to expose ribs and seeds), then devein and seed using tip of a paring knife and kitchen shears.

Stir together cheeses, hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoons pepper, and 3/4 teaspoons salt.

Fill chillies with cheese mixture, pressing seams closed after filling, so that cheese is compacted and chilli retains its shape.

Lightly beat eggs in a small shallow bowl. Stir together bread crumbs, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper in another shallow bowl.

Dip chillies in egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with bread crumbs, transferring to a work surface. Repeat coating with egg and crumbs to form a second layer.

Heat 2 inches oil to 163°C in a medium saucepan. Fry chillies in 3 batches, stirring occasionally, until golden brown all over, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer to several layers of paper towels to drain. Return oil to 163°C between batches.
