Super Bowl Sunday Jalapeño Poppers
Bacon Jalapeño Poppers 10 Jalapenos
2 or 3 Large Shallots (chopped)
Pancetta or Bacon (about 7 or 8 strips)
1 cup Feta Cheese
1 block Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Parm
1 Lime
1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder
Pepper
Breadcrumbs
Turn the oven on to 375 degrees.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta or bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and about half of the oil from the pan. Now add the shallots to the pan and let them cook in the oil until they are translucent and starting to brown.
In a large bowl, mix together all the cheese with the bacon, shallots, juice from half of the lime, garlic powder and your desired amount of pepper.
To prepare the jalapeños, cut them in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Once the jalapeños are prepped, fill each of them generously with the cheese mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Sprinkle each of the poppers with some bread crumbs and broil for another 5 minutes or until the breadcrumbs start to brown on top.
Remove and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with remaining lime juice and serve.
