Ingredients
- 6 oz light cream cheese
- 6 oz grated cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
- cracked black pepper to taste
- 12 large jalapenos
- 12 bacon slices
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Beat together the cream cheese, grated cheese, garlic powder, cayenne and a little salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Halve each jalapeño down the middle and using the tip of a sharp knife, hollow out the seeds and the white membrane to create a little boat.
- Using a small spoon with a flat edge, fill the jalapeños with the cream cheese mixture until they have relatively level tops. Depending on the size of your jalapeños you may not need all the mixture, but don’t be tempted to overfill.
- Halve each bacon slice and wrap a half slice around each jalapeño, securing the loose ends with a toothpick.
- Transfer the jalapeño poppers to a lined baking tray and spritz with cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes, before finishing under the broiler to crisp the bacon.
- Wait until the cheese filling has stopped bubbling before serving.

Notes
- Hollowing out the jalapeños can be time consuming but if you’re serving these to guests the jalapeño poppers can be assembled up to a day ahead and kept in the fridge.
