Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeños: A Flavorful Crowd-P

Introducing: Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeños

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a delicious recipe that’s perfect for any occasion that calls for a flavorful and slightly spicy appetizer. These Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeños are a crowd-pleaser and always disappear in minutes whenever I serve them. I love how the heat from the jalapeños is perfectly balanced with the creaminess of the filling and the crispiness of the bacon.

Ingredients:

• 6-8 large jalapeños
• 200g cream cheese
• 100g shredded cheddar cheese
• 12 slices of bacon
• 2-3 green onions, chopped
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• spoon
• baking sheet

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash the jalapeños and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes to reduce the heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture, making sure to press it in firmly. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.

Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender.

Once they’re done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeños are best enjoyed warm and are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, serving 4-6 people with an average serving weight of 100g. Each serving is estimated to be around 200 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a little brown sugar on top of the bacon-wrapped jalapeños before baking. It adds a sweet and savory element that elevates the flavors even more.

I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to get creative and customize the filling to suit your taste preferences. Happy cooking!
