Time Breakdown:
| Prep Time | Cook Time | Total Time |
|---|---|---|
| 45 minutes | 15 minutes | 1 hour |
Ingredients:
- 12 jalapeno peppers
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 3 tbsp chopped onions
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic granules
- 1/4 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp dried chives
- 1/4 cup diced ham
Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- In a two-quart saucepan, bring one quart of water to a rolling boil.
- While it is reaching a boil, Cut a long flap in each jalapeno, starting from the shoulder and running close to the tip; this should be an elongated “V” shaped flap.
- Lift the flap and clean out the fibers and seeds (this is where most of the heat is); I use either a round-tipped peeling device or a teaspoon.
-
-
Parboiling the Peppers:
- When water reaches boiling point, immerse cleaned peppers in the water and reduce heat to medium.
- Let peppers parboil for about 10 minutes– better that they be a little undercooked than overcooked.
- Remove peppers, dump into a strainer, and run cold water over them.
-
Preparing the Filling:
- Mix the rest of the ingredients together, turning and blending until the cream cheese is well mixed into the rest of the ingredients.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a little sour cream, pickle juice, vinegar, anything in the fridge you think might add a touch of individuality.
-
Stuffing the Peppers:
- Lift the flap of each pepper and stuff the cheese mixture into the pocket; fold the flap back down over the stuffing.
- A little overstuffing is OK.
-
Baking:
- Place the peppers on a sprayed pan and bake at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes; just until the cheese begins to melt out of the peppers.
- Remove and let cool for about 4-5 minutes so the cheese sets up a little.
-
Serving:
- Serve with a few crackers or tortilla chips, and your favorite beer.
- Parboiling the peppers removes a substantial portion of the raw heat, but leaves enough to give a nice burn to the mouth.
