24 jalapeno peppers
3 large eggs
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup grated jack cheese
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tortilla chips, crushed
1 cup pizza sauce

1 cup chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup of your favorite jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • For the huevo ranchero filling:
  • Beat the eggs and stir in the salsa, half the jack cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste. Fill 8 of the peppers 3/4 full and top with the remaining jack cheese and crushed chips.
  • For the sausage pizza filling:
  • Mix together the pizza sauce, crumbled sausage, and half the mozzarella. Fill 8 of the jalapenos and top with the remaining mozzarella.
  • For the peanut butter filling:
  • Put the peanut butter into a plastic bag and cut off a corner to make a pastry bag. Squeeze the peanut butter into the remaining peppers making sure that they are filled all the way down. Top with a spoonful of jelly.
  • Bake the poppers for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the peppers are soft.

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 JALAPENO POPPERS



Baked Jalapeno Poppers image

My husband loves these so much that each fall we pick a bushel of jalapeno peppers, fill them and freeze them. In fact we had to buy a second freezer just to accommodate these peppers. This recipe is courtesy of Emeril Lagasse. If you like these hot, leave in some seeds or membranes. The original recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon cumin but I do not like it so I leave it out.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 24 poppers, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise with stems and membranes removed
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese or 1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
8 teaspoons Emeril's Original Essence (posted separately by others members)
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup flour
sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Using your food processor, combine cream cheese, cheese, cumin (if using) and cayenne until well mixed.
  • In a separate bowl combine eggs, milk and 2 teaspoons of the Essence (or to taste).
  • In another dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and 4 teaspoons of the Essence (or to taste).
  • Using gloves, fill each pepper with about a tablespoon of filling depending on the size of the pepper. I find filling all the peppers first before moving on to the next step works best for me.
  • Dip each filled pepper into the flour, then into the egg mixture and finally into the breadcrumbs.
  • At this point the peppers can be frozen on cookie sheets. Just pop into the oven frozen when you need them.
  • Cook at 350°F for 30 minutes on a greased pan. Easy release foil or parchment paper works well too.
  • To cut down on the heat when eating, serve with sour cream.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect baked jalapeño poppers, start with fresh, firm jalapeños. Look for peppers that are deep green in color and free of blemishes.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid getting the spicy oils on your skin. If you do get any on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the jalapeños. Too much filling will make them difficult to eat and may cause them to burst open in the oven.
  • If you like your poppers extra spicy, leave the seeds in the jalapeños. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds before stuffing.
  • Bake the jalapeño poppers until the filling is melted and bubbly and the peppers are slightly softened. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

Conclusion:

Baked jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these baked jalapeño poppers a try. You won't be disappointed!
