Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

Ingredients

• 14 Jalapeños (The quantity depends on the size of the peppers and the baking sheet; halved lengthwise and seeded.)
• 8 oz Cream cheese (1 block; soften enough to fill the jalapeños.)
• 8 oz Cheddar cheese (1 block; cut into slices to place over the cream cheese.)
• 1 paquete Bacon (Not thick-cut; use half a slice for each jalapeño half. The package weight is not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 °F (approximately 200 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Halve the jalapeños lengthwise and remove the seeds.

3. 3

   Place the jalapeño halves on the prepared baking sheet.

4. 4

   Fill each half with cream cheese.

5. 5

   Place a slice of cheddar cheese over the cream cheese on each half.

6. 6

   Wrap each half with half a slice of bacon.

7. 7

   Bake for 1 hour at 400 °F (approximately 200 °C).

Notes

The bacon package does not list a weight. The source does not specify whether the temperature is expressed in °F, although 400 normally refers to °F in an American recipe.
