How to Make Baked Texas Jalapeo Peppers
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut 1 pound of jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes (wear gloves!).
- Blanch the peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes to soften them slightly.
- Drain the peppers well and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of the cheese mixture onto each jalapeño pepper half.
- Top each pepper half with a sprinkle of cooked bacon crumbles (about 2 slices per pepper, crumbled).
- Arrange the peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. Serve immediately and enjoy the heat!
- (Optional) Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions before serving.
