Healthy Jalapeño Poppers
In an effort to eat healthier, I have given up a lot of yummy goodness. But I am attempting to find a way to make things a bit healthier for me. One thing I made a take on was jalapeño poppers. This recipe makes quite a bit. I made half of the recipe and it was enough for Brad and I to have at lunch and dinner on a Saturday during football season (obviously with other appetizers). They can get a bit spicy, and they aren’t perfect. But they scratch that itch for me!
Ingredients
4 tablespoons of jarred jalapeños (you could use fresh ones but I am lazy)
4 ounces of cream cheese (I use the 1/3 less fat version)
1/3 cup of breadcrumbs
Instructions
1. In a food processor (we used a small one), mix the jalapeños and cream cheese together until there are no longer chunks of jalapeños in it.
2. Pour the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Take teaspoon size balls of the jalapeño mixture and roll them in the mixture.
3. Place them on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 5 minutes. They are already “done” but they want to be crispy and warm.
4. Serve!
