Ingredients
- 12 jalapeno poppers
- 8 oz bacon slices
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- Slice the jalapeños in halves, longwise, and remove their seeds. Place them, hole upwards, in the prepared baking tray.

- Fill each jalapeno popper with the cream cheese mixture to the surface without exceeding. Then, wrap each one of them with a slice of bacon.

- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bacon is golden and jalapenos have softened.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to five days. To reheat, place them in a skillet, covered with a lid, over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
- To make this recipe low-carb or keto, avoid using honey to brush them. Instead, you can replace it with another liquid keto-friendly sweetener.
