Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet OR line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Spread cream cheese in the cavity of each jalapeño half, then wrap with bacon (depending on the size of the jalapeño, you could use a whole piece of bacon, or half). Place on the wire rack or baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the bacon is done and crispy. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Customization Options

Chop bacon instead of wrapping – cook it separately until crisp, chop it up and mix it into the cream cheese.

Add shredded cheese – sharp cheddar, colby, or Monterey Jack blend is recommended.

Add extra flavorings – green onions, chives, garlic, cayenne, etc.

Add a crunchy topping – panko breadcrumbs with melted butter.
