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:
- Choose the right jalapenos: Look for firm, plump, and brightly-colored jalapenos. Avoid any that have blemishes or bruises.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapenos: The capsaicin in jalapenos can irritate your skin. If you don't have gloves, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling them.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos if you want them to be less spicy. Be careful not to touch your eyes or nose while doing this, as the capsaicin can also irritate them.
- Use a variety of fillings for your poppers. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, sausage, and shrimp. You can also experiment with different seasonings and spices.
- Make sure the poppers are cooked through before serving. The cheese should be melted and the jalapenos should be soft. You can bake them in the oven or fry them in oil.
- Serve the poppers with a dipping sauce. A simple lime-cilantro sauce is a great option, but you can also use your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Jalapeno poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. With a variety of fillings and dipping sauces to choose from, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a fun and flavorful snack, give jalapeno poppers a try!
