BAKED CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO POPPERS



Baked Cream Cheese Jalapeno Poppers image

After a number of unsatisfactory attempts at making deep-fried poppers, I modified a recipe by Emeril that is much easier than frying and everyone in our family agrees that these are at least as good as -- if not better than -- any fried poppers they have had! We love hot peppers and always make a lot of these from the ones we grow in our garden every year.

BAKED CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO POPPERS



Baked Cream Cheese Jalapeno Poppers image

For some reason I thought this recipe called for sausage, and I added a pound of sausage to the mixture. I ended up with a lot more filling than I had jalapenos (I'll post the recipe as listed). Overall, these are super fast and easy and taste terrific Watch out for jalapeno hands. I always say I'll wear gloves this time...never do and regret it as I get it in my eyes and everywhere else.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for medium-sized, firm jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or wrinkles.
  • Prepare the peppers: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Be careful not to cut too deep, or the peppers will fall apart.
  • Soften the cream cheese: Bring the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will make it easier to spread.
  • Use a flavorful cheese blend: For a richer flavor, use a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan.
  • Add some spices: To give the poppers a little kick, add some cayenne pepper, chili powder, or paprika to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Don't overcook the poppers: The poppers should be cooked just until the cheese is melted and the peppers are slightly tender. Overcooking will make the peppers mushy.
  • Serve the poppers immediately: Cream cheese poppers are best served hot and fresh. You can also make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven before serving.

Conclusion:

Baked cream cheese jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a crowd-pleasing snack that is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty dish, give cream cheese jalapeño poppers a try.
