Best 5 Pioneer Woman Jalapeno Cheese Bread Recipes

JALAPENO CHEESE CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
• Sprinkle the jalapeno slices around one of the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes; this will remove some of the moisture from the jalapeno and help ensure your cheese crisps live up to the crisp in their name. Transfer to a bowl.
• Meanwhile, mix the cheeses together in a medium bowl.
• Using a tablespoon measure, spoon mounds of the cheese mixture onto the lined baking sheets, 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart from each other. Press a jalapeno slice into the center of each mound. Bake until golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Allow the crisps to cool slightly before handling, then serve. Or let cool completely and store in an airtight container.

JALAPENO CHEDDAR CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and butter. With a wooden spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry until most of the lumps are dissolved. Don't overmix! Mix in 2 cups of the grated Cheddar, the scallions and jalapenos, and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking pan.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the remaining grated Cheddar and extra chopped scallions. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and cut into large squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHEESY JALAPENO CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Stir together.
• Measure the buttermilk and milk in a measuring cup and add the egg. Stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until combined. Fold in the cheese. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, melt the shortening in the microwave. Slowly add the melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined.
• In an iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the peppers and onions until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the batter into the hot skillet with the veggies. Spread to even out the surface. (Batter should sizzle.)
• Cook for 1 minute, and then transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, for 20 to 25 minutes.

JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• If you have them, slip on some latex gloves for the pepper prep. Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. With a spoon, remove the seeds and white membranes (the source of the heat; leave a little if you like things HOT). Smear cream cheese into each jalapeno half and then wrap with a bacon piece (1/2 slice). Secure by sticking a toothpick through the middle. Place on the rack in the baking sheet.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. (You don't want the bacon pieces to shrink so much they start to squeeze the jalapenos.) If after 45 minutes the bacon doesn't look brown enough, just keep cooking until the bacon is sizzling.
• Serve immediately, or they're also great at room temperature.
