Jalapeño poppers step by step
- Preheat oven to 350•F.
- Cool bacon until crispy and drain using paper towels. Then crumble bacon in bites.
- Mix together well: cream cheese, parm cheese, sun dried tomato, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and bacon bites.
- Place egg (scrambled), flour, and bread crumbs in each their own separate bowls for egg wash breading..
- Cut jalapeños in half. Clean out seeds and membrane..
- Stuff jalapeños with filling 1/2 tsp - 1 tsp each or as best fits..
- In order; flour, egg, bread crumb the entire poppers and place on baking sheet. (I added a touch more bread crumbs on top but is optional).
- Place in oven for 25 minutes. Crank the heat up to 500-550•F (I did 515•F) for about 5 minutes until top is nicely brown..
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce (ie, ranch or spicy ranch).
Halve the jalapeños and scoop out the seeds and membranes. The seeds are where the heat lives, so this helps keep the finished poppers mildly spicy (rather than super hot). These jalapeño poppers are lighter than most since they're baked, not fried, and bacon-free (more on that in a minute). These jalapeño poppers are stuffed with a fresh, herbed cream cheese mixture and topped with just enough cheddar cheese to turn golden. They are beyond delicious, and they're not greasy at all.
