So after eating some jalepeno popper samples from Sur La Table, I went home and attempted to make my own. "Attempted" is the key word here, my poppers didn't look as presentable as the ones in the store. :( Regardless of their lack of visual appeal, these are baked so they are much healthier than the poppers you would find at any restaurant!
Ingredients:
- 3 slices pepper jack cheese
- 6 jalepeno Peppers
- 1/8 cup of onion, minced
- 1/8 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/3 cup of cream cheese
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven 425F.
- Rinse. Slice the jalepeno peppers in half lengthwise, and deseed.
- In a small bowl combine the cilantro, salt, onion, and cream cheese. Fill the jalepeno halves with the mixture.
- Cut each slice of pepper jack cheese into 4ths or so and place on top of filled jalepeno half.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or so, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Costs:
- Pepper jack cheddar cheese-($2.68 for six slices)-$ 1.34
- 6 Jalepeno Peppers- $0.35
- 1/8 cup minced onion-($0.41 for an onion)- $0.10
- 1/8 cup of fresh cilantro-($0.33 for a bunch)-$0.04
- 1/3 cup cream cheese-($1.42 for 1 cup)-$0.47
Approximate Cost: $2.30 for 12 jalepeno halves
