Equipment
Ingredients
- 6-8 large jalapeño peppers halved, seeds and membranes removed
- 5 oz Boursin garlic and herb cheese see note below, room temperature
- 1½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 8 slices bacon cut in half
- Chives thinly sliced, optional, for serving
Instructions
- Stuff the jalapeños. Preheat an oven to 400°F / 205°C. Fill each jalapeño half with filling, then press gently into a flat layer.
- Wrap with bacon. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with half a slice of bacon, trying to wrap into a single layer if possible. Secure with a toothpick, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the jalapeño poppers. Transfer to a preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and browned a bit and the bacon is crisp. Allow to cool slightly, then serve immediately (with chives, if using).
Notes
- Substitutions:
- Boursin: Swap with 5 oz cream cheese + 1 tsp onion or garlic salt; add 2 tsp fresh herbs if you like.
- Bacon: Regular-cut bacon cooks most evenly (any variety works).
- Make ahead & storage: Best fresh, but poppers can be prepped up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. Store leftovers airtight for 3–5 days.
- Freezing:
- Uncooked: Freeze in a single layer, then store airtight up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 5–10 minutes.
- Cooked: Cool completely, freeze airtight up to 3 months. Reheat at 375°F / 190°C for 8–10 minutes until bubbly and crisp.
