Ingredients
  

For the Jalapeño Poppers
  • 12 jalapeños, halved and deseeded
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened
  • 12 slices bacon, cut in half
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Toothpicks for securing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
  3. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture.
  4. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  5. Place the wrapped poppers on the baking sheet, cheese-side up.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly. Broil for 1-2 minutes if desired for extra crispiness.
  2. While baking, mix honey, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl for the honey drizzle.
  3. Once done, let the poppers cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle with the honey mixture and serve warm.

Notes

Serve these poppers hot for best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven until crispy.
