Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers
Ingredients:
12 jalapeños
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt
Fresh ground pepper
12 slices bacon (not thick-cut), cut in half
Recipe directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Slice the jalapeños in half length-wise. With a spoon or a paring knife, remove the seeds and white membrane. You can leave the stems on or cut them off.
Mix together the cheeses and the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Fill each jalapeño half with a scoop of the cheese. Wrap each jalapeño with a slice of bacon, and secure with a toothpick.
Bake the jalapeño poppers on a baking sheet for 25 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
