What do I need to make Three Cheeses Bacon-Wrapped JalapeƱos?
To make Three Cheeses Bacon-Wrapped JalapeƱos, you'll need the following ingredients:
Jalapeños - medium size Jalapeños peppers, or do like I did in the video and use a combination of large and small. Also consider using different colors too: makes for an eye appealing colorful dish. But it's up to you. Keep in mind that you are the boss of your appetizer.
Bacon -Ā thin, or mediumĀ thickness. IĀ would notĀ recommend thick unlessĀ you are willing to slightly precook it. I always recommend the best quality that you can afford, which means less preservatives and uncured.
Cheese -Ā I used in the video 3 cheeses:Ā GruyĆØre, Parmesan, and Cream Cheese. If you can't find GruyĆØre, use any good melting cheese (fontina, cheddar, baby Swiss, etc.)
Herbs - I had on hand parsley and some scallions, cilantro would be great too.
Onion -Ā shallot or use a scallion, theĀ white partĀ only andĀ chop very fine, like I did in the video.
Garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Let's do it...

Served: 12 people


Ingredients
12-14 large jalapeƱo peppers (red and green combo is great)
1 cup cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded GruyĆØre cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
1 shallot or young onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
10 strips ofĀ thinly slicedĀ bacon (medium thick is ok too, avoid thick cut bacon)
Directions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the JalapeƱos: Slice the jalapeƱos in half lengthwise.
Remove the seeds and membranes carefully (use gloves!).
Make the Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, Parmesan and GruyĆØre cheeses. Add finely chopped onion and herbs (parsley in my case), garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stuff the JalapeƱos: Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeƱo half, packing it in.
Wrap in Bacon: Wrap each stuffed jalapeƱo with a strip of bacon. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if needed. I didn't do it in the video.
For extra crispiness, or if dealingĀ with thickĀ cut bacon, you can partially cook the bacon in a pan for a few minutes before wrapping, but this is optional.
Prepare for Baking:
Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeƱos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack set over a baking sheet (to allow excess fat to drain). At this point you can freeze or bake it.
Bake:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If needed, you can broil them for the last few minutes to get the bacon extra crispy, I did 5 minutes, but keepĀ an eye on them because theyĀ can burn very easily.
Serve:
Allow the bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeƱos to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm.

These bacon-wrapped jalapeƱos make a great addition to any party or gathering and are sure to be a hit with anyone who enjoys a bit of spice and savory goodness.
