Stuffed Jalapenos

Matthew’s sister came to visit a few weeks ago and prepared an appetizer that made our mouths happy…and made me call her for the recipe. It’s so, SO tasty.

INGREDIENTS:

9 Jalapeno peppers

1/2 block of cream cheese (I used the low fat variety and it was just as tasty, for those who care about counting calories).

Crushed pineapple – 4 Tbsp, or more if it makes you happy.

Bacon. (Mmmm…Bacon.) (Or prosciutto if you like that better. I’ve made it with both.)

DIRECTIONS:

Cut jalapenos in half and hollow out (You can leave a seed or two in if you have a high tolerance for hotness…or are crazy.) (HINT: Use rubber gloves when handling said peppers.)

Mix cream cheese and pineapples together.

Fill hollowed out jalapeno peppers with cream cheese mixtures. Wrap with 1/2 a slice of bacon or prosciutto.

Bake at 375 until crispy ~ approximately 35 minutes.

Even without seed, they are quite spicy, yet somehow a minute or so later you find yourself reaching for another…
