Cheesy Jalapeño Popper Bites
Report
These easy cheesy Jalapeño Popper Bites combine my favorite jalapeño popper dip with flaky phyllo shells for a match made in snacking heaven!

Ingredients
- 30 frozen phyllo shells (two 15-count packages)
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 TBSP mayo
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 Jalapeno pepper
- 3 TBSP jarred diced jalapeño
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2-3 TBSP crumbled cooked bacon or veggie bacon bits
Instructions
- NOTE: For the jalapeños I like to use both diced jarred jalapeños (they have a pickled nacho-topping vibe to them that's oh so flavorful) and fresh minced jalapeños. You can absolutely use all of one or the other but I find that I adore poppers with both the most.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Arrange phyllo shells on a baking sheet and set aside.
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature or lightly warm for 15-20 seconds in the microwave. Combine with grated cheddar cheese and mayo. Mix well.
- Remove stem and seeds from jalapeno (or keep the seeds if you want them spicy) and finely mince.
- Add fresh minced jalapeño along with pickled jarred jalapeño to your cheese mixture. Season with garlic powder and a pinch of salt and mix well. For extra heat you can add optional crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
- Spoon mixture into phyllo shells and top with crumbled bacon (or veggie bacon bits if vegetarian) - the bacon can also be skipped and they'll still be super tasty!
- Bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes until the phyllo is nice and crispy and the cheesy filling is hot and melty. Enjoy!
