Filled with three kinds of cheeses and extra crispy Panko, these may be the fastest-selling appetizers at your next football party!
Ever since I could remember, I didn’t really like jalapeño poppers. I don’t even know why. I actually love jalapeños but for some reason, the minute someone said “jalapeño poppers”, I was completely turned off.
I do make different variations of jalapeño poppers from time to time for Jason though. He’s a bit of jalapeño popper fiend so every time I tell him I’m going to make it for him, he’s face will just light up.
But oddly enough, these jalapeño poppers actually came together when Jason wasn’t home. See, I had to come up with a game day type appetizer and the first thing that popped into my head was jalapeño poppers. They’re the perfect finger-foods with just enough of a spicy kick. So with that in mind, I decided to bring together 3 types of cheeses and stuff them in a jalapeño, baking them to cheesy goodness perfection and topping them off with toasted Panko bread crumbs for that extra crunch.
I can’t even stand jalapeño poppers but I actually devoured these in an instant! Now maybe next time I can wrap these bad boys in bacon…
