I just wanted to share an appetizer recipe I made this weekend that was incredibly delicious. I got the idea from my wife's friend.
15 Jalapeño peppers
1 "brick" of cream cheese
1 lb package of bacon
Toothpicks
You can probably guess the rest:
- Cut off the tops of the peppers, slice down one side lengthwise, then open them up to remove the seeds and veins
- Stuff with a generous spoonful of cream cheese
- Wrap each one with a piece of the bacon, securing with a toothpick
I baked them on a sheet pan for 20 minutes at 350F, then put them under the broiler for a couple of minutes at the end to crisp the bacon.
They were the hit of the BBQ. The peppers still had some crunch, and the baking removed much of the heat, leaving a mild kick with lots of that green chile flavor. And if you're like me, you'll eat ANYTHING if it has bacon on it. :p
