Jalapeno Poppers
Jalapeno poppers are the perfect appetizer to wow your guests with a blend of creamy, cheesy, and spicy flavors.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 8 tablespoon bacon bits about 1 slice of cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

- ¼ cup finely chopped tomato
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon green onion
- 7-8 each whole fresh jalapeños
Instructions
- Prepare the Jalapeños
- Clean the jalapenos and remove the seeds and white membranes. Rinse them thoroughly. Wearing latex gloves is a great idea to protect your hands from the spicy oils.
- Make the Filling

- Stuff the Jalapeños
- Slice the jalapeños in half length-wise. Use a piping bag with a tip to fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture.
- Bake
- Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
