Preparing the Poppers

Bacon Wrapped Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers

These jalapeno poppers are the perfect appetizer. To make them, slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise, removing the seeds. Stuff the jalapenos with the goat cheese, then wrap a slice of bacon around the jalapeno pepper. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 400° F or until the bacon is crispy. Serve immediately and enjoy!

How to Make the Bacon Wrapped Date Poppers

For the date poppers, slice the dates in half lengthwise. Remove the seed if needed. Stuff the dates with goat cheese, then wrap a slice of bacon around the date. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 400° F or until the bacon is crispy. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Side Note

If you have extra goat cheese to use up, stuff a few more jalapenos and dates. If you are looking for other appetizers to make, try the Goat Cheese Bruschetta – it pairs nicely with the poppers!

Grass-fed bacon is also specified in this recipe. We purchase our bacon from a local, sustainable farmer. If you are interested in finding a grass-fed farmer near you, review this site.
