Notes
- This might just be the most important tip you will read. Wear gloves whilst cutting the jalapenos. You will thank us for this one!
- If you find these hard to stuff, then instead of slicing them in half, you could just slice a little off the top so they are more like a boat shape and there will be more to stuff. Don't throw away the sliced top though, dice it up and add to the cheese mixture.
- You could add a little bit of grated Parmesan on top to help them crisp up too.
- Don't over bake your stuffed jalapenos. You want to cook them until the cheese is just bubbling, otherwise all the cheese will come spilling out. They will still taste good, but just won't be as presentable.
- Try to use jalapenos that are all the same size, so that they cook at the same rare.
- If you end up with any cheese mixture leftover, then put it in the fridge and use it to spread on crackers or just make more jalapeno poppers the next day.
