Description
Bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers are amazing appetizers that are perfect for any holiday or party. They are easy to make, and they always seem to disappear quickly! I have been making them for years, and my family always loves them.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
12 medium jalapeño peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
8 oz. cream cheese, room temp
1 c. cheddar cheese, finely shredded
1 t. garlic powder
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
12 slices bacon, cut in half
2 T. fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
Instructions
-
Pre-heat oven to 375°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper or a Silpat™ baking mat. Set aside.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine.
-
Fill each jalapeño half with some of the cheese mixture and wrap with one-half slice bacon. Secure bacon with a toothpick and set on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Place the baking sheet in the pre-heated oven and bake until the cheese mixture is golden-brown and bubbly, and the bacon is cooked through, approximately 20-25 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet once halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the poppers to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
