Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 whole jalapenos cored and seeded
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 2 teaspoon smoked chipotle pepper
- 12 slices bacon
- 12 teaspoon honey optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F or prepare a grill over medium heat.
- Core and seed the jalapenos, leaving peppers whole. Add 1 teaspoon honey to the bottom of each jalapeno.
- In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese and smoked chipotle pepper.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno, filling about ¾ full.
- Wrap one slice of bacon around each pepper and secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Place on a baking sheet or jalapeno rack and bake for 18-22 minutes, or grill for about 25 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the filling is heated through.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly, and serve.
Notes
- Larger jalapenos are easier to stuff and hold more of the cheesy filling.
- For less heat, remove all seeds and membranes before stuffing.
- Goat cheese can be replaced with cream cheese or a combination of both.
- Assemble up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Serve with Ranch dressing, Southern Comeback Sauce, or Alabama White BBQ Sauce for dipping.
