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

Made these last night as I had jalapeno peppers left but, alas, no dry ranch dressing. Aha! I found some ranch dressing in a bottle in my refrigerator so came up with this. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did. Time does not include the three hours of refrigerator time which is IMPORTANT so that the cheese does not melt and leak out before the bacon is done.

Time 1h

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

9 fresh jalapenos
1 ounce low-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup ranch dressing, already made up
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon, cut into thirds

Steps:

  • Wear plastic gloves, wash off outside of jalapenos, cut off tops, slice in half lengthwise, deseed, and cut out the white membrane the best you can.
  • Mix together the cream cheese, ranch salad dressing, and cheese.
  • Fill peppers with salad mixture.
  • Wrap each pepper in bacon.
  • Set on rack so that later the popper is out of the dripping bacon grease, put rack on plate, and refrigerate for 3 hours or freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Set rack inside a cookie sheet that has edges to catch the drippings.
  • Bake about 30 minutes, or until bacon is done.

JALAPEñO POPPERS



Jalapeño Poppers image

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.

Categories     snack, finger foods, appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 24 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 medium jalapeños (no longer than 3 inches each, about 2/3 pound total)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Scant 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 scallions, whites and greens parts, trimmed and very thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 lime, zested (about 1/2 teaspoon), optional
Kosher salt and black pepper
12 thin slices uncooked bacon (thick-cut bacon won't cook as evenly), halved crosswise

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.

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.

Provided by Cilantro in Canada

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:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm jalapeño peppers that are free of blemishes. If you want milder poppers, remove the seeds and ribs before stuffing.
  • Prepare the filling: Mix together a creamy and flavorful filling using cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and spices like garlic powder and onion powder. You can also add cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, or diced vegetables for extra flavor.
  • Stuff the peppers: Carefully stuff the jalapeño peppers with the prepared filling, making sure not to overfill them. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for this.
  • Breadcrumbs and coating: Coat the stuffed peppers in breadcrumbs or panko crumbs for a crispy outer layer. You can also use a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the jalapeño poppers in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and the filling is melted and bubbly. This usually takes around 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve with dipping sauce: Serve the baked jalapeño poppers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream.

Baked jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for parties, game days, or any occasion.
