These little guys are to freaking die for!! They took my about 10 minutes to make and 20 min to cook!! Perfect for football season or cocktail parties...
Or you can be like me and make them for the hell of it on a Tuesday night!!
-Enjoy!
What you need:
bacon (1/2 a slice per jalapeno)
1/2 packet of cream cheese
1/2 shallot
1 garlic clove
salt and pepper
a little olive oil
some season salt
Directions: some season salt
- Mix all your ingredients (minus the bacon) in a bowl until all mixed well and smooth!
- Cut you Jalapenos in half and de-seed.
- Use those pretty little hands and stuff the jalapenos with the cream cheese mix.
- Cut your bacon strips in half (I used a apple wood smoked bacon from Trader Joe's).
- Wrap your jalapenos with bacon.
- Use a tooth pick or just tuck the bacon to keep it in place while cooking.
- Drizzle some olive oil over the tops and some fresh black pepper.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 min
Right before they went in the oven
**I use a baking rack so the bacon doesn't sit and cook in its own grease.... cuts down on the fat (haha) but most importantly make the bacon nice a crispy!
finished product!!
Sooo good and so easy!! They were a big hit at my house!!
I hope you like them & I love you for reading!

I have been reading your blog, and I love all of your tips!
ReplyDeleteI bet these are great, and I will have to try them soon. It'll be nice to have another appetizer option! I have a recipe that is similar, that you might like as well...
It involves cream cheese, jalapenos, and salami (I typically get the thin sliced salami at the deli). All you have to do is slice the jalapenos, spread cream cheese on the salami, slap a jalapeno on the cream cheese and roll up. When ever I have to bring an appetizer I bring them, and they are typically a hit. :-)
I can't wait to try these!!! I have my own personal chef that I hope I can talk into making these for me! :-)
