Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers
Description
This recipe involves prepping fresh jalapeños by cutting them in half lengthwise and removing the seeds to moderate the heat. Each half is stuffed with about a tablespoon of cream cheese, providing a smooth, rich counterpoint to the pepper's spice. Bacon slices are halved and wrapped around each filled pepper half, held in place with toothpicks to maintain shape during cooking.
The poppers can be baked in a 400°F (204°C) oven for 25 minutes until the bacon crisps and the cream cheese heats through. Alternatively, grilling for 25 minutes with regular turning achieves a smoky flavor and evenly cooked bacon wrap. These poppers offer a satisfying combination of textures and flavors: the spicy jalapeño, creamy cheese, and crunchy bacon.
They are well suited as snacks, appetizers for gatherings, or party finger food. Broiling briefly at the end of baking can add extra crispiness to the bacon if desired.
Ingredients
- 10 jalapeños
- 10 lices Bacon
- 1/2 container cream cheese 8 oz
Instructions
- Cut the stems off and cut the jalapeños in half length wise.
- Use a spoon to scrape out all the seeds.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of cream cheese in the middle of each jalapeño. Set aside.
- Cut each bacon in half. Wrap a half of bacon around one stuffed jalapeño. Secure with a toothpick.
- Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 25 minutes (you can broil the last few minutes to make them crispier if you want)
- You can also place them on a grill for 25 minutes until bacon is cooked through (flipping regularly).
Notes
- Remove jalapeño seeds thoroughly to control the heat level in the poppers.
- Wrap bacon halves snugly and secure with toothpicks to keep the filling intact while cooking.
- You can finish with broiling for a few minutes to crisp the bacon further if preferred.
- Grilling provides a smoky flavor alternative to baking; turn regularly for even cooking.
