These are a bit reminiscent of stuffed jalapeño peppers but much easier to make. I found this in the Junior League Celebrations cookbook.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: For the best flavor and heat, use fresh jalapeños that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Wear gloves when handling peppers: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's important to wear gloves when handling them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers: This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers. If you want a milder flavor, you can also remove the white pith from the peppers.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the peppers: This will help to prevent the peppers from tearing and will make it easier to get clean cuts.
- Be careful not to overcook the peppers: Overcooked peppers will be mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
- Serve the peppers immediately: Jalapeño bites are best served hot and fresh. You can also store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Spicy jalapeño bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fresh jalapeños, cream cheese, and bread crumbs, and they are then baked until golden brown. These bites are sure to be a hit with your guests, and they are also a great way to use up any leftover jalapeños.
