Jalapeño Poppers


I saw the Food Network recipe of the week and knew we had to make it.  Basically it was to use up the ton of Jalapeños we had in our little garden. We had 6 plants that went crazy this year. My son and I probably picked over 30 peppers this afternoon leaving a bunch on the bush for another time.  So I used 17 of them tonight and prepared Rachel Ray's roasted jalapeños and they were delicious.  Having them de-seeded helped with heat factor, but boy do my hands burn now from working with the seeds and membranes.

If you love Jalapenos', we have plenty.  Stop by!

Jalapeno Poppers



12 large jalapeno peppers
2 ounces feta cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces shredded smoked pepper Jack cheese, or other hot pepper cheese, or extra-sharp Cheddar
A small handful fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 tablespoons grated onion


Directions


  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
    Cut 1/3 of each pepper off lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place on a baking sheet. If peppers do not sit flat on the baking sheet, slice a thin piece off the bottom of the pepper so it will not roll around.
    Mash the feta, cream cheese, shredded cheese, cilantro, and onion together and stuff the peppers with the mixture. Roast for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is brown at the edges and bubbly.
