BACON JALAPENO POPPER PUFFS
If you enjoy the gut-bombs that are classic, bacon-wrapped, jalapeno poppers, I think you'll love these shockingly light puffs. All the same flavors are there, especially when served with the easy cream cheese dip, and the prep is much easier.

Steps:
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble or finely chop. Drain fat from skillet, reserving 1 tablespoon.
- Mix cream cheese, creme fraiche, green onions, and lime juice together in a bowl. If mixture seems too thick, add enough water to thin it to your preferred consistency.
- Place skillet over medium-high heat. Add cold water, butter, reserved bacon fat, and salt. Bring mixture to a simmer; reduce heat to medium. Pour in flour all at once. Stir to mix and mash with a wooden spoon until dough starts to pull together, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat; transfer dough to a mixing bowl and let cool for about 5 minutes.
- When dough is cool, whisk in 1 egg. Mixture will separate slightly. Continue whisking in first egg until mixture pulls back together. Repeat with the second egg. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add diced jalapeno, bacon pieces, shredded cheese, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with a spatula. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Heat oil in deep fryer to 375 degrees F.
- Using a small scoop, scoop out rounds of dough. Drop rounds of dough into hot oil and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Work in batches if necessary. Transfer to a cooling rack.
- serve with dipping sauce garnished with a few green onion slices.

Tips:
- Choose the right jalapeños: Select firm and plump jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid any with blemishes or soft spots.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The oils in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's best to wear gloves when preparing them.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help reduce the heat level of the peppers. To do this, cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
- Stuff the jalapeños with Oaxaca cheese: Oaxaca cheese is a semi-soft cheese that melts well and has a mild flavor. You can also use other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or cheddar.
- Wrap the jalapeños in puff pastry: Puff pastry is a light and flaky pastry that bakes up golden brown. You can find puff pastry in the frozen section of most grocery stores.
- Bake the jalapeños until they are golden brown: This will take about 20-25 minutes. Serve the jalapeños warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
