Jalapeno peppers
Cream cheese, softened
Bacon slices, cut into thirds
Toothpicks or wooden skewers, soaked in water
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Wearing food prep gloves, cut the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes, leaving a few seeds if you like them HOT. Spread each pepper half with cream cheese then wrap with 1/3 of a bacon slice, securing with a wooden skewer. Bake on a sheet pan for 20 - 25 minutes, and can be browned under the broiler for a couple of minutes if desired. Serve hot or can be served at room temperature.
