Who’s ready for a fast, easy and delicious pub food recipe?? Enter our 5 ingredient baked jalapeno poppers. These small bites are spicy, creamy, savoury and oh so good. Also, they aren’t deep fried, so we’re gonna pretend they’re good for us.
These are so stupid easy to make I wasn’t sure a recipe was in order. But you need to get the proportions right, so we’re gonna help you out. We also have a secret ingredient for making the filling extra tasty. As you probably know, jalapeno poppers are filled with cream cheese. What you don’t know (but now will) is that we used a whipped chive flavoured cream cheese in the filling. This eliminates the waiting time for the cream cheese to soften. It also makes them taste delicious.
These can be mixed up and popped in the oven in no time! So the next time you have people over? Yeah, make them some jalapeno poppers. But be warned, they pack a little heat…they are hot pepper after all.
