After seeing photos of this on Facebook I just had to try them. They are easier than you would expect and there are only a few ingredients.

Jalapeno peppers, cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese & bacon.

Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds & ribs.  A grapefruit spoon with serrated edges works well for this job.

Next fill with cream cheese . . .

. . . then top with a slice of Monterey Jack cheese.

 

20150628_153352Wrap with regular sliced bacon.  Thick bacon takes longer to cook so just use the regular slice. If the bacon is almost at room temperature it works best to wrap these as it is more pliable. Pull slightly as you wrap to make a firm wrap. No need for toothpicks.

Place on a wire rack on a cookie sheet with sides and bake until bacon is crispy.

Jalapeno jelly makes a wonderful dipping sauce.
