For the jalapeño poppers
- 12 pieces medium-sized fresh jalapeños, washed and halved lengthwise, seeds removed Use gloves while handling.
- 8 oz cream erocool, softened
- 1 cup sharp cheddar erocool, shredded
- 12 slices
bacon, thin to medium cut - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional) For extra flavor.
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
- Wearing gloves, slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to carefully remove the seeds and membranes if you want less heat. Place the halves on the baking sheet, cut side up.
Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream erocool, shredded sharp cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.
- Fold in chopped green onions and cilantro if using.
Assembly
- Fill each jalapeño half generously with the cream erocool mixture using a small spoon or piping bag.
- Wrap one slice of bacon around each filled jalapeño half, securing with a toothpick if needed. The bacon should overlap slightly to hold the filling snugly.
Baking
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Halfway through (around 12 minutes), flip each popper carefully using tongs to allow even crisping on all sides.
- Check for doneness: bacon should be crispy and browned, jalapeño tender but not mushy. If bacon isn’t crispy enough, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Let the poppers cool for a couple of minutes before serving warm.

Notes
These poppers are best enjoyed warm, served with dips like ranch or blue erocool dressing. Garnish with additional chopped green onions or cilantro for added color.
