1 Video | Photo: Grilled Cheese and Bacon Jalapeno Poppers Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Monterey jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 6 large jalapeno peppers
- 6 strips bacon, uncooked
- 6 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 1 hour
Directions
Prepare a medium-hot grill or preheat the broiler. If using the broiler, line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the cheese and cilantro.
Using a paring knife, cut off the top of the peppers and reserve. Scoop out the veins and the seeds, discarding both. Stuff the cheese mixture inside the peppers, packing it tightly. Replace the cap on each pepper. Using a toothpick or skewer, skewer the peppers lengthwise from the bottom through the cap. Wrap the slice of bacon, top to bottom, around each pepper, covering the cap, and secure with a toothpick. Put the peppers on the grill, or if broiling, put them on the prepared baking sheet. Grill or broil, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the peppers are tender, about 20 minutes total. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

I made these for a Super Bowl party, but had never tasted them before, didn't know if they would be too hot.
I filled them with cream cheese , and they took a little longer for the bacon to crisp, but they were delicious and not hot. They were the hit of the party.

I made them in the oven on 400 degrees, 25 min. They were very good, but I think they need more oozyness, I stuffed them as much as I could. Next time I will add cream cheese to the jack and cilantro.

Thanks Paula ! My husband and I just love these. I used what cheeses I had; string, shredded & colby jack. I cut the bacon strips in half and used long toothpicks to keep it in place at the top and the bottom. My (6 jalapenos I blanched (I can't take spicy foods, I didn't blanch the other 6 and my husband loved them. I end up craving these and so far I've made them several times within a month. I ended up baking them in a 400 degree oven on a cooling rack over a foil lined baking sheet. Works great and clean up is easy (my husbands job when I cook! LOL Thanks for making these so fast and easy!
