Bacon Garlic & Herb Jalapeno Poppers
A unique twist on jalapeno poppers with bacon and garlic & herb cheese, these boats make the perfect crowd-pleasing game day appetizer.
Ingredients
- 8 large jalapenos*
- 6.5 oz Alouette garlic & herbs soft spreadable cheese
- 4 oz bacon cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking sheet with foil.
- Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise, then core and remove seeds. Place them on the baking sheet cut side up.
- Bake jalapenos for 15 minutes, until slightly softened. While they're baking, let the garlic & herbs spreadable cheese come to room temperature so it's easier to spread.*
- Remove jalapenos from the oven. Carefully fill each boat with a schmear of garlic & herbs cheese, then top with crumbled bacon.
- Bake for 5 more minutes, until cheese is warmed through. Remove from oven and let cool for up to 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Jalapenos: Carefully selecting the right jalapenos will make this recipe a lot easier. Look for ones that are pretty flat on two opposite sides, so that they'll lay flat on the baking sheet once they're cut in half.
Filling the boats: The jalapenos will be hot to the touch after the first round of baking, so we recommend gently holding them in place with tongs while you spread the cheese.
