Ingredients

  • 10 jalapenos
  • 150 g of cream cheese softened
  • 1 handful of parsley roughly chopped
  • 30 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 250 g of streaky bacon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.

  2. Cut the jalapenos in half length ways

  3. Use a small spoon to scrape out all of the seeds and the pith.
  4. Mix the cream cheese and parsley together in a bowl.
  5. Fill the jalapenos with the cream cheese mixture.

  6. Sprinkle a good amount of panko breadcrumbs on top and then wrap the streaks of bacon around the stuffed jalapenos.

  7. Preheat a grill over high heat, then add your jalapenos (making sure the cheese side is face-up).

  8. Grill the jalapenos for about 2-3 minutes until you have some nice marks, and until the bacon is nice and crispy at the bottom.

  9. Transfer the jalapenos on a lined baking tray, then bake the jalapenos for 20-25 minutes until the panko breadcrumbs are golden and the bacon is crispy.

Recipe Notes

  • When you scrape the seeds out of the jalapeno, make sure you scrape out the pith too, because that white pith is also a very hot part of the chilli.
  • If you're on a gluten free diet, make sure you use gluten free breadcrumbs to make this recipe.
  • I like to grill the stuffed jalapenos before baking them so that the bottom doesn't go soggy.
  • If you want to expand on the filling you can add some shredded chicken, chopped shrimp, some crab or you can make a vegetarian salsa filling by mixing coriander, diced tomatoes and some ground cumin through the cream cheese.
  • If you want to use different cheeses, you can use ricotta cheese or mascarpone. However, the flavour of these 2 kinds of cheese are much lighter than cream cheese, so I recommend seasoning the filling with a generous pinch of salt if you do use one of these cheeses.
  • Buy the largest-sized jalapenos you can find when shopping for the ingredients.
