Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut jalapeños in half, length-wise. With a spoon, remove the seeds and the ribs {or white membrane}. Fill with some softened cream cheese into each jalapeño half. Wrap the jalapeños with the sliced bacon pieces. Secure by sticking toothpick through the middle or laying seam side down. Bake on a baking sheet preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. If, after 20 minutes, the bacon doesn’t look brown enough, turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish it off, just keep an eye on them so they don't burn.

These are bestest when the jalapeño still has a bit of bite to it.
