Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 8 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 whole fresh jalapenos
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices center-cut smoked bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas or charcoal grill or stovetop grill pan over high heat.
  • Grill the jalapenos until browned or blistered on all sides and slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, mix the cheese and oregano in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To remove the seeds from the jalapenos, make a crosswise cut at the stem end of each jalapeno, then slice lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut the jalapeno completely in half. Peel open the sides of each jalapeno and, using a spoon, gently scrape out the seeds and veins. Fill the cavities with 1 tablespoon of the cheese-oregano mixture. Wrap 1 slice of bacon tightly around each stuffed jalapeno to seal in the cheese.
  • Grill, starting the poppers on the side where the bacon-wrapping ends, until the bacon is crisp and fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

1/4 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup minced green onion

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy and golden-brown grilled cheese sandwich, use a combination of butter and olive oil when greasing the pan. This not only enhances the flavor but also prevents the sandwich from sticking.
  • Freshly grated cheese melts more evenly and provides a gooey, flavorful filling. Avoid pre-shredded cheese, as it contains cellulose, which can inhibit melting.
  • For a spicy kick, choose a hot or extra-hot variety of jalapeño peppers. Alternatively, if you prefer a milder flavor, opt for mild or medium jalapeños.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought guacamole. However, making your own guacamole from scratch using ripe avocados, onion, cilantro, and lime juice provides a fresher and more delicious result.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of bread. Sourdough, whole wheat, or even a hearty rye bread can add a unique flavor dimension to the sandwich.
