Jalapeño and Red Pepper Poppers. These fan-favourite apps are the best and I honestly don’t know why I haven’t made these sooner. They’re super-easy to make! Are these really spicy? The answer is no, but I have a really high tolerance to spice. The richness of the Cream Cheese balances out all the heat in the Jalapeños, but I’ve made a Red Pepper option just in case so that there’s something for everyone. This serves two.
Ingredients:
1 8oz container of Cream Cheese (I prefer Herb & Garlic)Instructions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 400°F.Gallery:
