Ingredients

Servings
  • 5 jalapeño peppers fresh
  • 4 lices Bacon
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp chili powder adjust to taste
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • black pepper adjust to taste, fresh ground

Instructions

  1. Set oven to broil and move rack second to the top position.
  2. In a medium pan, fry bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and let cool on paper towel lined plate.
  3. Meanwhile, clean and halve jalapenos. Remove seeds with a small spoon working from bottom of jalapeno to the top.
  4. Crumbled bacon.
  5. In a medium sized bowl, mix cheese, salt, chili powder, cayenne, and pepper in a bowl. Add half of the crumbled bacon and mix well.
  6. Fill halved jalapenos with the cheese mixture and line on a lightly greased baking sheet. Add remaining crumbled bacon on top.
  7. Add to oven and broil for 4 mins. Turn pan and broil another 4 minutes until cheese is bubbly and begins to brown and jalapenos are soft. Check jalapenos after 2 minutes. If they look like they're burning, lower rack to second rack.
  8. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • To adjust the heat level of the poppers, keep just a little bit of the membrane of the popper when cleaning. This is where most of the capsaicin of the pepper is and that's what controls the heat.
  • No feta? No problem. Just use all cream cheese.  Add a little bit more salt to taste. 
  • You can also bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.  
  • Leave out the bacon for a vegetarian popper.
