It is a love/hate relationship with me….they are so hot….but they are so good….ok, I’ll have one more…yes, my mouth is burning…BUT I DON’T CARE!! These stuffed poppers are a real crowd pleaser….plus, they are good even when they cool off a bit—so you can serve them up and not worry about them! Perfect for a Memorial Day picnic with friends:) I hope you look like as big of an idiot as I do when I eat them;)
Feel free to make them ahead:) Just cover them with a damp paper towel so that the pastry doesn’t dry out too much.
What’s more patriotic then a popper? Nothing I tell you….nothing:) #grabmybeer
Stuffed Jalapeño Popper Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 clove of garlic roasted
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 6 slices of bacon cooked and crumbed
- 1 c shredded cheddar
- 15 jalapenos sliced down the center and seeded
- 2 sheets puff pastry
Instructions
- Roast garlic (cut off top of garlic bulb, place on foil, drizzle with olive oil, wrap foil around and bake for 45 min. at 425)
- Combine garlic pulp, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon crumbs.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture into pepper.
- Cut thawed puff pastry sheets into 12 squares.
- Wrap peppers with puff pastry piece. You can brush with egg wash if you want:)
- Bake 400 for about 15-20 min. until browned. Using parchment on the baking sheet will help peppers keep from sticking.
These look SO good Tracie. We usually wrap the bacon around the popper when the fella and I make them but the pastry brings it to a whole new level! Totally trying this recipe this weekend!
yum…bacon;)
Hello, 12 peppers cut in half makes 24 pieces. Not being a critic, I follow a lot of cooking sites and am always looking for the different and easy recipes. I usually just put the cream cheese in and wrap with bacon, so I had to see your recipe. PS You don’t have to publish this comment. It was not meant to scold or sound over correcting. Carl
Thanks! I meant to say 15 peppers…into 30….:)
