Notes

  • Use a good quality bacon, one with not tonnes of added ingredients.
  • Omit the bacon to make these vegetarian - they will still be delicious I promise!
  • Use a teaspoon to scrape out the seeds of the jalapenos.
  • Cook the jalapeno poppers in a pre-heated oven to get the bacon nice and crispy.
  • Serve immediately!
  • If making ahead of time, follow instructions up to wrapping in bacon, and then store covered in the fridge for up to 6 hours.
  • Nutritional values are based on one of ten poppers and are an estimate only.
