When you crave something spicy, these stuffed jalapeño poppers are a great go-to snack. Depending on the time of year, jalapeños can carry a mild or medium level of heat. Paired with cream cheese, the heat is tempered but still comes through in a pleasant, tasty way.

Ingredients

  • 6 jalapeño peppers

  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic

  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, at room temperature

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cubed

  • 1 tsp olive oil

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Wash the jalapeños and cut off the tops. Using a small knife, cut the jalapeños top to bottom without cutting the other side. Gently open the peppers and remove the seeds and veins. Set the peppers aside.
  • To a small bowl, add the minced garlic, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Stuff the jalapeños with the Monterey Jack cheese so they are full but will still close.
  • With a small spoon or knife, spread an equal amount of cream cheese inside each jalapeño, over the Monterey Jack, to help bind the pepper together. Close the peppers and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the jalapeños with olive oil and place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until browned.
