It's hard to hold back with these spicy little poppers around. Store-bought biscuit dough makes easy little appetizers, stuffed with our cheesy jalapeno filling.

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings (3 to 4 biscuits per person)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 jalapeno peppers
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 large egg
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup shredded mozzarella (about 5 ounces)
Kosher salt
One 16.3-ounce tube store-bought biscuit dough

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the heating element, and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Cut the stem end off the jalapenos, cut each in half lengthwise and remove and discard the seeds (wear food-grade gloves if your skin is sensitive). Arrange the jalapenos skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, and brush with the oil. Broil until the peppers are blackened and puffy, 3 to 4 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub off the skins (running under cold water helps). Cut 2 of the halves into large dice so you have 32 pieces (1 for the top of each biscuit); set aside. Finely chop the rest of the peppers, and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Switch the oven from broil to bake, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Remove the foil from the baking sheet, and line it with parchment. Beat the egg well in a small bowl.
  • Add the cream cheese, mozzarella and half the egg to the bowl with the chopped peppers, add 1/4 teaspoon salt and mix to combine.
  • Separate the biscuit rounds, and cut each into quarters. Make a deep indentation in the center of each quarter, and fill with a heaping teaspoon of the pepper-cheese mixture (it will mound above the biscuit a fair amount). Brush any exposed biscuit with the remaining beaten egg. Bake until the biscuits are puffed and golden around the top, 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish each with a piece of reserved jalapeno.

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

15 jalapenos, preferably red, cut in 1/2, seeded and deveined
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 pounds mild Italian sausage, casings removed
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 cups mascarpone or cream cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and set a rack in the middle of the oven.
  • Place jalapenos on a sheet tray and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Turn broiler on medium.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saute pan. Add the sausage and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic and cook to soften for about 5 minutes. Remove and place in a large bowl. Cool to room temperature, then add mascarpone, and Parmesan. Mix ingredients thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place approximately 1 tablespoon of mixture into each jalapeno half, and top with 1/2 teaspoon of mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the sheet tray of stuffed peppers in oven and broil until mozzarella cheese melts.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help streamline the cooking process.
  • Shred the Mozzarella Finely: Finely shredding the mozzarella allows it to melt evenly and smoothly within the biscuit bites.
  • Use Fresh Sliced Jalapeños: Freshly sliced jalapeños provide a more vibrant flavor compared to store-bought canned or jarred jalapeños.
  • Don't Overwork the Biscuit Dough: Overworking the dough can make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use a Cookie Scoop: Using a cookie scoop to portion the dough ensures uniform biscuit bites and helps speed up the process.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the biscuits while baking. Remove them from the oven once they turn golden brown, as overbaking can dry them out.

Conclusion:

Mozzarella Jalapeno Popper Biscuits are a delightful combination of flavors and textures that are sure to be a hit at any gathering. With their flaky biscuit exterior, gooey mozzarella cheese filling, and a hint of heat from the jalapeños, these bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a fun snack.
