Description

These jalapeño poppers are anything but mundane and boring.  The filling has a wonderful garlic and chive herbed cheese.  They are wrapped in smoky salty bacon and then brushed with a melted honey butter for the ultimate game-day snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Jalapeno peppers
  • 8 oz. Cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½  teaspoon Sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper, ground
  • Bacon slices (optional) see note
  • 2 Tbsp. Fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. Honey
  • 1 Tbsp. Melted butter


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Slice the jalapenos in halves, longwise, and remove their seeds and rib.
  3. Mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and fresh chives in a bowl.
  4. Fill each jalapeno popper with the cream cheese mixture to the surface without exceeding. Then, wrap each one of them with a slice of bacon (optional).
  5. Mix the melted butter with the honey and brush over the jalapenos.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bacon is golden brown and jalapenos have softened.

NOTE:  These can be made without the bacon and breaded instead.  Simply place some Panko or breadcrumbs on a plate and turn the popper cheese side down and press into the bread crumbs.  Place on a baking sheet and continue with Step 5 and 6 above.
