The healthier jalapeño poppers.
Stuffed jalapenos make a great party appetizer. My family loves them. These little babies are the perfect pregame snack. The best part is that they are healthier than the breaded jalapeno poppers. They are so easy to make. You can make them ahead of time and refrigerate. Unlike the breaded version, these reheat well. The best part is that they are low carbohydrate.
AuthorChuckHThis recipe is spicy game-time snack.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spray foil with nonstick spray.
On a flat surface, slice the jalapeños lengthwise. With a small or grapefruit spoon, scrape out the seeds and ribs from each jalapeño and discard. Set jalapeño halves aside.
In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, half the jalapeno jack cheese, the onion, and the spices. Stir to combine. I like it hot, so I added an extra chopped jalapeno to the mix.
With a spoon, fill the peppers with the cheese filling.
Arrange the peppers on the baking sheet and sprinkle with the remaining half of the cheddar cheese.
Bake for 8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned and the peppers are softened. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
