Ingredients
Scale
Jalapeños
- 6 fresh jalapeños, halved and seeded
Cheese
- 6 oz brie cheese, cut into chunks
Meat
- 12 slices deli ham, prosciutto, or bacon
Other
- 1/3 cup blueberry preserves
- Optional: pinch of black pepper or flaky salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the poppers.
- Prep Jalapeños: Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and carefully remove all seeds and membranes to reduce heat and prepare for stuffing.
- Stuff Brie: Place a chunk of brie cheese into each jalapeño half, filling them generously but without overflow.
- Wrap: Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a slice of deli ham, prosciutto, or bacon, securing the cheese inside.
- Bake or Air Fry: Place the wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the wrap is crisp. Alternatively, air fry at the same temperature and duration for a crispier result.
- Drizzle: Spoon warm blueberry preserves over the top of the baked poppers to add a sweet contrast to the savory and spicy flavors.
- Serve: Add a pinch of black pepper or flaky salt as desired, and serve immediately while hot for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Removing seeds and membranes from jalapeños reduces heat but leaves a pleasant spicy kick.
- Ham, prosciutto, or bacon can be used interchangeably based on preference.
- Blueberry preserves provide a sweet and fruity balance to the spicy and creamy components.
- Ensure the wraps are secure to prevent cheese from oozing out during baking.
- These poppers are best enjoyed fresh and hot to appreciate the melted cheese and contrast of textures.
