Last fall, I made a wildly popular appetizer for the Hayley House party: Jalapeno Poppers. I promised that I’d make them again and document them for the blog.
Now that jalapenos are producing in mass quantities again, I’m finally getting around to doing just that.
Shannah’s Jalapeno Poppers
- 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 T grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 t garlic powder
- Jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved (40 small or 25 large)
- 1 pkg bacon slices, cut in half both width- and length-wise
Preheat the broiler. Clean, slice and seed the jalapenos.
Combine cheeses and garlic powder.
Stuff inside the jalapeno halves.
Wrap the jalapeno halves with the bacon slices, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
Place on a foil-lined medium baking sheet. Broil 5 to 10 minutes, or until bacon is evenly brown.
Apologize for bad photography because you were fighting off jalapeno popper addicts while attempting to take a photo of the finished product.
