Ingredients
  

  • 8 fresh green chilies, roasted and peeled
  • 250 grams Cream cheese, softened, this is 1 standard block
  • 100 grams Sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 3/4 cup onion, minced or shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 16 toothpicks

Instructions
 

  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar, onion, chili powder, and garlic. Set aside. Preheat your oven to 200 C.
  • When peeling the chilies take care not to damage them. Make a slit down the length of each chili and remove the seeds. Stuff each chili with the cheese mixture.
  • Use a toothpick to secure one end of a slice of bacon at the stem end, wrap the bacon around the chili, try not to overlap, and wrap towards the pointy end, secure with another toothpick.
  • Place the chilies on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, then switch the oven to broil (top coil for counter top ovens) and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the bacon is golden brown.
  • Serve.

Notes

The cream cheese will cost 120 Baht, the bacon about 100 Baht. For 8 servings as appetizers, this is about 80 cents per serving.
