Are you ready to take your Super Bowl party to the next level? Look no further than this mouthwatering stuffed jalapeno popper recipe! Packed with flavor and easy to make, these poppers are sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
Ingredients:
- 12 large jalapeno peppers
- 1 cup of room temperature cream cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (plus 1 tablespoon for garnish)
- ¼ cup chopped green onion (plus 1 tablespoon for garnish)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ⅓ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 1 big handful of barbecue potato chips
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut off one-third of each jalapeno pepper lengthwise to create a boat-like shape.
- Use a small spoon to remove the seeds and membranes from each pepper.
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped cilantro, chopped green onion, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Stuff each jalapeno pepper with the cream cheese mixture.
- Top each stuffed pepper with a small mound of grated cheddar cheese.
- Bake the stuffed jalapeno poppers for 10 to 13 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
While the poppers are baking, prepare the topping:
- Place the barbecue potato chips in a food processor and pulse until they are broken into tiny pieces. Alternatively, crush them using a rolling pin.
- Mix in the crumbled feta cheese (if using), along with the remaining cilantro and green onion.
Once the poppers are done baking, top each one with the crushed chip mixture and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with extra cilantro and green onion if desired.
These cheesy delights are not only perfect for vegetarians but also incredibly easy to customize. Feel free to experiment with different fillings like bacon, chicken, or various cheeses and herbs to suit your taste preferences.
If you have leftovers (though it's doubtful), you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and simply reheat them in the microwave when hunger strikes.
For those who prefer a crispy texture, try deep frying the stuffed jalapeno poppers. Dip them in milk and flour, coat them in breadcrumbs, and fry until golden brown.
