Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Poppers recipe

So, this is a bit of a non-traditional take on a jalapeno popper. We dispense with the mess of breading and deep frying, and instead we wrap this in bacon and bake them. They turned out fantastic. The sour zing of the feta cheese in the stuffing and the subtle aroma of the mushrooms came together for a great overall flavour. I think we took these out just a little earlier than we should have, but sometimes when we're filming, it's hard to time everything exactly right!

You can use whatever sort of cheese mix you want in the stuffing. Mascarpone, ricotta, or cream cheese are all just fine. We like to add some depth with the parmesan and feta and of course some other nice flavours in there, too. For the bacon, you really don't want any of those fancy thick-cut homestyle bacons, just regular store brand super thin cut is the way to go for this recipe. It's good and stretchy and will get nice and crisp.

I halve and seed the jalapenos and blanch them for 6 minutes, then chill them. I then stuff them with a mixture of cream cheese, grated cheddar, crumbled bacon and a dash of Worcestershire and top with a sliced black olive. Bake for about 10 minutes at 400. Great appetizers and totally addictive.

This is another one of those things that everyone has a different way to make. This week's video is going to be the luxury version of them with shishito peppers, mascarpone, crab meat, and truffles!

No luck. They're delicious, though. The RG stir fries them and they get a blistered skin. We eat them just plain, like that, with salt and pepper.

I may try again this year. In fact, right at this moment I am seeding Poblanos.

I would try putting the halves back together and cooking them on a wire rack.
