Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to reduce the heat, if desired.

  2. 2

    Make the Cream Cheese Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapeños

    Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture until they are generously filled.

  4. 4

    Wrap with Bacon

    Cut the bacon strips in half and wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Bake the Appetizers

    Place the wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender.

  2. 6

    Drizzle with Honey

    Once out of the oven, drizzle the baked jalapeños with honey and garnish with chopped chives for added flavor and presentation.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your holiday bacon appetizers warm or at room temperature.
