Ingredients for Addictive Jalapeno Popper Bites

  • 12 large jalapenos
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 6 slices bacon, halved
  • Shallot
  • Cheese

How to Make Addictive Jalapeno Popper Bites

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Halve the jalapenos lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, and jalapeno seasoning. Mix well.
  4. Fill each jalapeno half with about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Wrap each filled jalapeno half with a half-slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if needed.
  6. Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cream cheese is heated through.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
