05 Step
Recipe View
Serve and savor: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve these poppers hot, alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the cheese mixture.
If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the jalapeño halves in ice water for 30 minutes before stuffing.
To ensure even cooking, use center-cut bacon, which tends to crisp up more evenly.
If the bacon starts to brown too quickly, tent the baking sheet with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, for a unique twist.
Poppers can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving. Store assembled poppers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
