Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and another with foil, then grease with nonstick spray.
- Trim the tops and bottom tips from the jalapeños. Cut the jalapeños in half crosswise and remove the seeds and ribs, taking care not to break the jalapeños.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and cheddar cheese with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until well combined. Transfer the cheese mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
- Pipe the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half to fill completely.
- Divide the pizza dough into 32 1-ounce portions and roll into balls. Gently press each piece of dough into a small, flat circle. Place a stuffed jalapeño half in the center, then gather the dough around the jalapeño and roll into a ball, sealing completely. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the baking soda to the boiling water.
- Working in batches, boil the dough balls, until the dough begins to swell, about 20-30 seconds. Remove from the water and place on the foil-lined baking sheet, arranging in 2 concentric circles with a space in the middle.
- Brush the dough balls with the beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Bake the poppers for about 25 minutes, until the dough is cooked through and tops are deep golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, make the creamy cilantro lime dip: Add the crema, avocado, cilantro, mint, lime zest and juice, and salt to a blender and blend until completely smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl that will fit into the center of the popper ring.
- Place the dip in the center of the ring, then serve.
- Enjoy!

JALAPEñO POPPERS
There are many delicious versions of jalapeño poppers: Some are breaded and deep-fried, others use two kinds of cheese, and another, called armadillo eggs, calls for enrobing the cheese-stuffed peppers with ground meat and bacon. These easy-baked poppers are filled with tangy cream cheese - brightened with scallions, cilantro, garlic and lime zest - then wrapped with bacon for looks, salt and crunch. For a vegetarian variation, sprinkle the stuffed jalapeños with finely crumbled tortilla chips before baking to complement the crisp-tender chiles and the molten-cheese filling.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then top with a wire rack.
- Halve jalapeños lengthwise. (Do your best to halve them through their stems for added visual appeal.) Using the tip of a small spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Set the halved jalapeños aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, cilantro, scallions, garlic and lime zest, if using; season generously with salt and pepper.
- Season the inside of each halved jalapeño with salt and pepper, then fill each with about 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture. (Fill until there's a slight dome on top.) Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with 1 piece of bacon, setting one tip of bacon on top of the cream cheese filling, then wrapping the bacon under and over the popper at an angle, so the bacon covers the filling on top in two layers. (The bacon will shrink as it cooks, so you want to make sure the top of the popper is well covered.) Arrange poppers evenly on the wire rack, nestling each popper between two parallel wires to keep it upright so the cream cheese doesn't spill during baking.
- Transfer to the oven, and bake until bacon is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Broil on the rack closest to the broiler until crisp, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Tips:
- For a crispier coating, double-coat the poppers in the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture.
- If you like your poppers extra spicy, leave the seeds in the jalapeños. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds before stuffing.
- To save time, you can use pre-made breadcrumbs. Just be sure to use a fine-grained breadcrumb so that it will adhere to the poppers.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the poppers. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and will also give them a nice golden brown color.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the poppers. This will also cause them to stick together and not cook evenly.
- Serve the poppers immediately with the lime-cilantro dip. The dip can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve.
Conclusion:
These jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are crispy, creamy, and have just the right amount of heat. The lime-cilantro dip is the perfect complement to the poppers, adding a refreshing and tangy flavor. Whether you are a fan of spicy food or not, you are sure to enjoy these jalapeño poppers.
