Categories     Mustard     Bake     St. Patrick's Day     Oscars     Cheddar     Ham     Poker/Game Night     Honey     Jalapeño     Boil     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 dozen hors d’oeuvres or snacks

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar, divided
1/4 cup warm water (110-115°F)
1 cup warm milk (110-115°F)
2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped country ham (3 oz; preferably Newsom's or Benton's), divided
1/3 cup finely chopped sharp Cheddar, divided
6 cups water
4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons finely chopped seeded fresh jalapeños
1 tablespoon mild honey
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 to 2 tablespoons pretzel salt or coarse salt

Steps:

  • Stir together yeast, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and warm water in a large bowl and let stand until foamy, 5 to 8 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.) In a separate bowl, stir remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar into warm milk until dissolved.
  • Add 2 1/2 cups flour and milk mixture to yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a soft dough forms, adding up to 1/2 cup additional flour, a little at a time, if necessary. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times to form a smooth ball. Transfer to a clean bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled and bubbles appear on surface, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in upper and lower thirds. Line two 4-sided sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut into 4 equal pieces. Lightly dust your hands with flour, then gently roll and stretch 1 piece of dough to form a 12-inch-long rope. Flatten dough and arrange so a long side is nearest you, then roll out to a roughly 12- by 4-inch rectangle with a lightly floured rolling pin. Gently press one fourth of ham and cheese into lower third of rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border along bottom edge. Stretch bottom edge of dough up over filling and press tightly to seal, then roll up as tightly as possible to form a rope. Cut rope into 12 pieces and transfer to a sheet pan. Make 3 more ropes with remaining dough, ham, and cheese and cut into pieces, transferring to sheet pans. Let rest at room temperature, uncovered, 30 minutes (dough will rise slightly).
  • Bring water (6 cups) to a boil in a 4-to 5-quart saucepan. Reduce heat and stir in baking soda. Cook pretzel bites in batches in gently simmering water, turning once, until slightly puffed, about 20 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to sheet pans.
  • Bake until puffed and golden-brown, about 15 minutes (cheese may ooze slightly).
  • Meanwhile, stir together mustard, jalapeños, and honey.
  • Brush warm pretzel bites with butter and sprinkle with pretzel salt. Serve warm or at room temperature with jalapeño mustard for dipping.

Categories     Cheese

Time 50m

Yield 30-60 Popper Bites

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 -12 fresh jalapenos, depending on size (larger the better usually)
2 eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs, Plain (Crunchy or regular)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (Sharp is ideal, but any will work)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 -2 cup oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine Cream Cheese, Cheddar and Mayo. Mix well and Set Aside.
  • In a second bowl, combine bread crumbs and all seasonings (ingredients 3-8) Set Aside.
  • In a third bowl, beat eggs. Set Aside.
  • Cut end off each Jalapeño and slice into 1/4 inch thick round slices. (I keep the tips, not the ends, and make tiny versions of the bites but u can toss em also if u like.).
  • Top each Jalapeño slice with a lump of cream cheese mixture, form the mixture and the slice into the shape of a gum drop or a short cylinder with the jalapeño being the bottom of it. The smoother the shape the prettier they turn out.
  • *You can use as much of the filling as you like,.
  • I usually do about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick depending on the width of the jalapeño slice.
  • Dip each popper in eggs, then in breadcrumbs, make sure to cover very well in breadcrumbs and if you need to, double dip. ( if u get a lot of egg on it the first time u should not need to double dip.).
  • Dry for 10 Mins before frying.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan to med/low, I do 4 on my stove and it's perfect, make sure there is enough to reach the top of your popper bites, you can not flip they or the filling comes out the top.
  • Once the oil is up to heat, place prepared poppers in oil, jalapeño side down!
  • Fry for 3-5 mins or until golden brown. If cream cheese comes out the top make sure to watch and remove that one ASAP so u don't lose filling.
  • Place on paper towel to cool. Serve:.
  • YUM =).

BACON WRAPPED, CREAM CHEESE & JALAPENO STUFFED CHICKEN BITES RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Bacon Wrapped, Cream Cheese & Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken Bites Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by shawnanewton

Number Of Ingredients 7

Chicken Marinade:
1 Large Pack of Chicken Tenders, 4 pounds. Cube chicken.
2-3 packaged sliced bacon
1 jar Jalapenos, jar jalapenos are fine
1 Brick of Cream Cheese, 8 ounces
Toothpicks
Marinate chicken in whatever you like, some combination of onion, garlic, soy sauce, salt, pepper, hot sauce, olive oil, and teriyaki sauce is best, to taste.

Steps:

  • Cut up chicken breasts or tenders into about one inch or inch and a half cubed pieces, Marinate the chicken in whatever you like. Some combination of onion, garlic, soy sauce, salt, pepper, hot sauce, olive oil, and teriyaki sauce is best. The ratios are all to taste. Let the chicken marinate for at least an hour. After chicken has marinated, take one piece and place it at the end of one piece of bacon. On top of the chicken piece, place a jalapeno (or two, depending on their size) and a small dollop (for lack of a better word) of cream cheese. Then start rolling the enitre thing up in the bacon. Try to make it tight, but not tight enough to force the cream cheese to squeeze out. You want the bacon to wrap about two times around the chicken piece. It the bacon piece is too large, just cut off any excess. Put a toothpick(or two) through the the entire thing to hold it together. Each piece should be able to be finished in about two bites. After you have rolled all of your pieces, put them on the grill, turning them with tongs to cook the sides evenly. When the bacon is finished cooking, they are done. Usually about 12-15 mins. per batch depending on how hot your grill is. Plate them and serve.

ADDICTIVE JALAPENO POPPER BITES



Addictive Jalapeno Popper Bites image

I've always loved those bacon wrapped jalapenos that people make at BBQ's but I could never eat them without either burning my mouth from the molten cream cheese filling or squirting it out all over myself. Not to mention how difficult it is to try and figure out how to roast a whole jalapeno on the BBQ without the filling leaking out. So, I came up with this variation and it has been the first thing gone at every party since!!

Provided by MindyP679

Categories     Pork

Time 50m

Yield 24 bites, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 jalapenos
1 (8 ounce) package softened cream cheese
1 lb thick cut bacon
1 large shallot, diced (you can substitute the white parts of green onions or regular onion as well)
4 ounces shredded cheese (I use jack, colby jack, or the mexican blend)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut off the fattiest parts of the bacon and discard. (This is why you need a whole pound. You can leave the fat in but I find it's far more yummy if you just put in the meaty parts.) Dice up the meaty part of the bacon and cook just until chewy, removing the bacon and setting on a paper towel to drain.
  • Remove all but about a tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan and add in diced shallot, cooking until tender.
  • Put softened cream cheese, shallot, shredded cheese and bacon into a bowl and combine. You may not need to use all of the bacon but I like mine with LOTS : ).
  • Cut the 12 jalapenos in half long ways and use a metal teaspoon to scrape out and discard the membrane and seeds. (If you really like heat you can leave some of the membrane but the seeds get tough and chewy so they need to come out.).
  • Fill each of the jalapeno halves with the cream cheese mixture and arrange them on a large foil lined baking tray (something with sides.).
  • Place tray in the oven and cook for 15-30mins. Cooking time varies depending on the size of the jalapenos and your oven. If you are within nose-shot of the oven you'll know when they're done. Just keep checking. You want the jalapenos to be cooked but firm.

JALAPENO BITES



JALAPENO BITES image

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 lg fresh jalapenos
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
8 slices bacon, cut into 3rds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. Split jalapenos in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Stuff each jalapeno half with cream cheese, wrap in bacon and secure with a toothpick. Bake about 20 - 25 min or until bacon is crisp. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jalapeños: Look for jalapeños that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid jalapeños that are soft or have blemishes.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's important to wear gloves when handling them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat of the jalapeños. You can use a spoon or a knife to remove the seeds and ribs.
  • Stuff the jalapeños with your favorite fillings: You can use a variety of fillings for your jalapeño poppers, such as cheese, meat, seafood, or vegetables.
  • Bake or fry the jalapeño poppers until they are golden brown: Baking or frying the jalapeño poppers will help to cook the fillings and create a crispy outer shell.

Conclusion:
