Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers

Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers

I could not get my jalapeno plants going in Thailand so I made this in the US on 31 May 2020, and used Cheddar with the cream cheese. I only used 5 peppers as a trial run and I will say these are excellent peppers! I will certainly try to grow these peppers again.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Course Appetizer, Side
Cuisine Tex-Mex
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can whole pickled jalapeno peppers, about 12 peppers
  • 250 grams Cream cheese, softened, (8 oz)
  • 1 cup Jarlsburg cheese, shredded, OR Swiss or Cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup spring onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Using a small sharp knife, cut a slit down one side of each pepper. Leaving the stem intact, remove the seeds and veins. I used a teaspoon to remove the seeds. For my trial run, I used 5 peppers from the can.
  • In a bowl, mix together everything except the peppers to make the cheese filling.
  • Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F) and line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Stuff each pepper with the cheese filling. I used two teaspoons and found this rather easy, scoop a little filling with one spoon, and push it off a little at a time to fill each pepper. Place peppers on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Well under $1 per serving in the US. In Thailand, I still have not found jalapeno peppers in a store, and I have been unsuccessful trying to grow them but I will be trying again real soon.

  1. I made these on 31 May 2020, excellent peppers, the larger peppers were a tad hot but that may be the brand, not over powering but I think a milder pepper would be spot on. Now I will try my hand at pickling some peppers then I will try this again.

  2. Agree with Dave 🙂

  3. Grilling at low heat should make these taste awesome too!

    • I have made these a few months ago with the large green chilies from Tesco, only problem, those need to be roasted and peeled like a Hatch chili, but once the skin was removed, excellent 🙂

    • But we are growing Jalapenos now here at the house so I will post again when we have some Jalapenos to use for this.
