Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the poppers
  • 12 pieces jalapeños, halved and deseeded
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened
  • 12 slices bacon, cut in half
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For the honey drizzle
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Others
  • Toothpicks for securing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and gently remove the seeds and membranes with a small spoon.
  3. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon or pipe the mixture into each jalapeño half, filling them just level with the top.
  5. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon, starting at one end and slightly overlapping as you wrap. Secure each with a toothpick through the center.
  6. Place the wrapped poppers on the prepared baking sheet, cheese-side up, leaving a little space between each for even crisping.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly and golden. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crisp.
  2. While baking, prepare the honey drizzle by whisking together honey, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  3. Once baked, let the poppers cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving plate.
  4. Drizzle generously with the sweet honey mixture and serve warm.

Notes

These poppers are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
