How to Make Cream Cheese Jalapenos
- Clean and hull 12 jalapeños, cutting off the tops and removing the seeds and membranes. (Use a potato peeler for easier hulling)
- Rinse the jalapeños thoroughly.
- Optional: Soak jalapeños in water or milk for 2-4 hours (or overnight) to reduce spiciness.
- Fill each jalapeño to the top with 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese.
- Wrap each jalapeño with 1/2 slice of bacon (approximately 12 slices total). Secure with toothpicks.
- Refrigerate until ready to cook (optional).
- Cook on a preheated grill over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until bacon is crispy.
- Remove toothpicks before serving.
- **Important:** Wash your hands thoroughly after handling jalapeños. Do not allow children to assist in preparation.
