How to Make Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Peppers
- Carefully slice off the stem of each jalapeño pepper and remove the seeds using a spoon or potato peeler. Be cautious, jalapeños can be spicy!
- For a milder flavor, submerge the seeded jalapeños in ice water for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
- Gently fill each jalapeño pepper with approximately 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese.
- Wrap each jalapeño with 1 slice of bacon, ensuring the cream cheese is fully covered. Secure the bacon with a toothpick.
- Arrange the bacon-wrapped jalapeños in a single layer in an electric skillet (or oven-safe skillet).
- Cook over medium heat in the electric skillet until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender, about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until bacon is cooked through.
