Recipe View Carefully lay each jalapeño pepper on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut a lengthwise sliver from the side of the pepper, exposing the seeds and white membrane. With a small spoon or the handle of a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and membrane, leaving a hollow pepper. Repeat for all remaining peppers. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Stuff each pepper generously with the cheese mixture. Wrap each stuffed pepper with a half slice of bacon, ensuring the bacon covers as much of the pepper as possible. Secure the bacon with toothpicks. (15 minutes)

06 Step

Recipe View Place the stuffed jalapeños on a less-hot part of the grill to avoid burning the bacon. Grill until the peppers are tender, juicy, and slightly charred, and the bacon is crispy and browned. Turn frequently to ensure even cooking. (30-40 minutes)

For a milder flavor, soak the halved jalapeños in ice water for 30 minutes before stuffing to reduce some of the heat.
If you don't have a grill, you can bake these in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and the peppers are tender.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even a smoked gouda would be delicious.
Any leftover cheese mixture makes a fantastic spread for crackers or vegetables – a tasty snack while you're grilling!
