Рецепт Frantastic Bacon Jalapeno Poppers
It doesn’t get much better than Bacon Jalapeno Poppers. I pretty much feel that jalapeno poppers are one of the best snacks you can put into your mouth. The hot jalapeno pepper is complimented by a creamy cheesy filling that takes away the heat the moment you put it into your mouth. I didn’t know it could get better, you can wrap this with … bacon.
My friend Fran Feldman, whom I met a few years back at a food blogger camp made these. After a few years we finally had the chance to cook together during her last pass through Houston. Fran had mentioned these jalapeno poppers and making them for her co-workers and how they gobbled them up at a party. She made them at an impromptu get together at my house, and we gobbled them up as well.
These jalapeno poppers are baked, but you could grill them just as easy as you can bake them. What makes these extra special is the using a food processor to help process the cheese into a nice blend. She also added a touch of Worcestershire sauce. This adds so much to the filling. When I later made these I added a small amount of Chipotle powder. Chipotle is a smoked jalapeno pepper, and I love that they give just the right amount of heat and smoke.
I really recommend using gloves when working with these peppers. When slicing so many your hands will be exposed to a lot of hot pepper juice. If you are me, you may touch your face, your eyes, your loved ones, and leave and unpleasant burning sensation.
