If you do any entertaining, you need a jalapeno popper recipe. Jalapeno poppers are as good as party food gets. They\u2019re bite-sized, savory and go well with almost any beverage you care to consume.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t know how to make jalapeno pepper poppers, or have only ever bought them ready-made from the store, we have good news. They\u2019re surprisingly quick and easy to make, and don\u2019t require any special degree of cooking skill. Of course, if you want all of the same flavors but in a different form, we also have lots of other popper-inspired recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Heat the oven to 325\u00b0F. In a large bowl, combine the cheeses with the bacon and seasonings, and mix them well.<\/p>\n Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling into each half-pepper.<\/p>\n Roll the stuffed jalapenos in the bread crumbs.<\/p>\n Transfer the breaded peppers to a greased 15×10-inch baking pan. Bake them, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the peppers are heated through. Serve the poppers with sour cream, onion dip or ranch dressing.<\/p>\n Store any leftover jalapeno poppers in your fridge, in a single layer, in a food safe container with a tight-fitting lid. If you have too many to fit in a single layer, use more than one container or place a sheet of parchment or wax paper between the layers to keep them from sticking together.<\/p>\n The leftovers will be good in your fridge for three to four days. For the best texture, reheat them in a toaster oven or air fryer rather than your microwave.<\/p>\n Yes, they freeze pretty well. Arrange your leftovers (or make-aheads) evenly on a sheet pan, not touching each other, and freeze them uncovered. Once they\u2019re frozen, pack them into freezer bags or containers for longer storage. Alternatively, you can do the same with uncooked poppers, and bake them straight from the oven. In either case they can last up to four months in the freezer, depending how well they\u2019re wrapped, but their flavor and quality will be best in the first month or two.<\/p>\n There are a few ways to tone things down if you love the popper flavor but want a bit less heat. One is to diligently remove the jalapeno seeds and internal membranes, because the membranes in particular are packed with capsaicin. Soaking the halved and cleaned jalapenos in cold water for 15 to 20 minutes also helps. Some cooks believe that jalapenos with smooth skins are milder than those with tiny cracks in the skin, but that may or may not be accurate. Finally, the suggested serving dips to accompany the poppers will also help cool your tongue.<\/p>\n Taking precautions is a good idea when you handle any hot pepper. Capsaicin, the active ingredient that gives chiles their heat, can cause an unpleasant or painful burning sensation on the outside of your body as well. Wear disposable gloves when you handle and clean the peppers, and avoid touching your face (especially your eyes or nose) until you\u2019ve cleaned your workspace, washed the knife and cutting board, and removed your gloves. Absent-mindedly rubbing your nose with a pepper-laden finger is decidedly unpleasant (I can vouch for this!) but getting it in your eyes can result in a trip to the ER.<\/p>\n Plain, panko and seasoned breadcrumbs all give a different end result, and all three are good. Larger panko crumbs<\/a> give the finished poppers a bit more crunch on top, while seasoned breadcrumbs are an easy way to add extra flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This jalapeno popper recipe is just what you need when there’s a game on or company coming.

How can you make jalapeno poppers less spicy?<\/h3>There are a few tricks that make jalapeno poppers less spicy. Start by inspecting them at the store. Some say that peppers with tiny little cracks in the skin may be spicier than those with smooth skins. When you get home, employ two tried-and-true methods for reducing spice: Removing the seeds and scraping out the inner membranes, and soaking jalapenos in cold water for 15 to 20 minutes. If all else fails, serve the jalapeno poppers with a creamy sauce like ranch or sour cream to stop the burn and reduce the heat\u2019s impact on the tongue.\r\n
How can you make jalapeno poppers your own?<\/h3>There are so many delicious variations of this recipe, so don\u2019t be afraid to experiment and make these poppers your own. Play around with different cheeses, or use flavored cream cheese instead of the plain variety. Using seasoned bread crumbs<\/a> is an easy way to amp up the flavor without a lot of added effort. Check out creative jalapeno-inspired recipes<\/a> for more ideas.
How can you store leftover jalapeno poppers?<\/h3>Store leftover jalapeno peppers in a single layer in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. If needed, layer the peppers between parchment paper or waxed paper to prevent them from sticking to each other. Reheat the peppers in the oven or air fryer. To freeze cooked jalapeno poppers, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze for 24 hours, until frozen through, before transferring to a freezer-safe bag.
