STUFFED JALAPEñOS



Stuffed Jalapeños image

As a game-day snack, they cannot be beat. Stuffed jalapeños, filled with Cheddar and cream cheese and run through with cilantro, are roasted to sweet intensity in the oven and finished under the broiler or in the dying light of a grill's fire. Consume with beer in advance of a plate of chicken wings, or a nap.

Time 40m

Yield 6-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 pound cream cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped fine
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
12 jalapeño peppers, halved
1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. In a small bowl, combine the grated Cheddar cheese with the cream cheese and sour cream, and use a fork to mash and combine. Add the cilantro, salt and pepper, and mix again to combine. Spoon the mixture into a quart-size plastic freezer bag, and set aside.
  • Wearing disposable latex gloves (or at any rate being very careful not to get the interiors of the jalapeños on your skin or in your eyes or nose), use a knife to split the peppers down the center, and dispose of the seeds and ribs. Rub lightly with oil, and place on a roasting pan.
  • Cut a half-inch triangle from one corner of the bag with the cheese in it, and pipe the mixture into each of the jalapeños. Gently press the cheese mixture into the peppers. Roast until the peppers have softened and the cheese has just started to bubble, approximately 15 minutes. Finish over the grill, if you like.

VERTICAL STUFFED JALAPENOS

Healthy alternative to the breaded/deep fried "poppers" Jalapenos, Cheese, Bacon. - Yum

Provided by DestroyerOfworlds

Categories     Pork

Time 20m

Yield 12 pieces, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 jalapenos (straighter are easier to work with)
3 ounces cheddar cheese (block or shredded)
6 bacon pieces
12 toothpicks

Steps:

  • I'm using this great grill rack I bought from Sur La Table. It basically just a stand for the peppers so you dont have to slice them in half longways and lets you make a whole stuffed pepper. It also comes with a really interesting tool to gut the jalapenos.
  • pre-heat oven to 400.
  • Cut stems off all Jalapenos and gut them of seeds.
  • Cut Cheddar Cheese into 12 "sticks" that you can shove into the jalapenos.
  • Cut 6 Bacon strips in half.
  • Stuff cheese stick into jalapeno.
  • Wrap pepper with bacon and "pin" it pepper using tooth picks.
  • Place peppers on grill rack and bake for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jalapeños: Look for firm, plump jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: 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 jalapeños: This will help to reduce the spiciness of the peppers. You can do this by using a sharp knife to cut the peppers in half lengthwise and then scooping out the seeds and ribs with a spoon.
  • Stuff the jalapeños with your favorite filling: There are many different fillings that you can use for stuffed jalapeños, such as cheese, meat, seafood, or vegetables. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Bake or fry the stuffed jalapeños: You can either bake or fry the stuffed jalapeños. If you bake them, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender. If you fry them, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the peppers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Conclusion:

Stuffed jalapeños are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create a variety of different stuffed jalapeño recipes that will impress your friends and family.
