    After seeing this recipe for Chile Poblano Hojaldrado, I knew I needed to try something like it with jalapenos. Puff Pastry is always so fun and easy.

    Ingredients

    • Jalapenos

    Can I Substitute Other Peppers for Jalapeno?

    If you want something with no spicy heat at all, use a bag of Mini Bell Peppers. They’re similar in shape but, like regular Bell Peppers, they don’t have any heat. They will also add some nice color because they’re assorted.

    If you want something a little more like the level of spicy heat of jalapenos, try using Anaheim or Cubanelle peppers.

    Hatch Green Chiles are great for making stuffed peppers like this, but they’re going to give you more heat.

    If you would like to see the difference in spicy heat, try our Scoville Heat Scale.

    How to Remove the Seeds from Jalapenos

    Removing the membranes will help to remove the spicy heat.

    In the past, I have used a spoon to try to scrape out the membranes and seeds of the jalapenos. I have also used a little utility knife.

    But, let me tell you about this little device we found at Amazon. I couldn’t believe how easy it worked.

    Try out this Norpro Grip-EZ Jalapeno Pepper Corer (aff link). It’s the one we use and worked perfectly for removing the membranes from these jalapenos. It would work in removing the insides from the top of a whole jalapeno too!

    How to Cut Puff Pastry

    I love Puff Pastry so I’ve tried it in different shapes. This time, I made a lot of strips to wrap around the peppers.

    The easiest thing I’ve found to cut puff pastry is our pizza cutter. It made this part so easy. I highly recommend this tip.

    When you wrap the strips, don’t try to get the edges right up on each other. Leave a little space so the cheese shows a bit.

    Since I love the ease and quickness of using Puff Pastry, I’ve done several recipes for it. These Puff Pastry Jalapeno Poppers use only one sheet, so you can use the extra sheet for double the recipe or use it for one of these others.

    Equipment

    • Baking Sheet
    • Parchment Paper

    Ingredients

    • 10 Jalapenos, cut in half lengthwise, seeded and membranes removed
    • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
    • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
    • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
    • 1 ½ cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
    • 2 Green Onions, chopped
    • 1 sheet Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry, thawed according to directions
    • 1 Egg
    • 1 tablespoon Water

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Prepare the jalapenos by cutting in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
    • Place softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, shredded cheddar and green onions in small bowl and mix together. You can use a fork or a pastry cutter. It's easiest to put on a glove then squish it up with your fingers.
    • Fill each jalapeno half with cream cheese mixture. Do not overfill. Just fill it and scrape off the excess. There will be extra of the cream cheese mixture, depending on the size of the jalapenos. Set aside.
    • Using a pizza cutter (or knife), make ¼" strips from the puff pastry. Wrap around each jalapeno piece, wrapping horizontally. The edges shouldn't necessarily touch completely. Leave a little opening for the cheese to puff up a little when baking. Try to keep the start and end of the strip on the bottom of the jalapeno. Place each jalapeno piece on the baking sheet.
    • In a small bowl, mix together egg and water with a fork. Brush egg wash on each jalapeno piece.
    • Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before serving.

    Notes

    If you prefer to use an Air Fryer for baking, it will take about 10 minutes. You may need to make several batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. The jalapeno poppers shouldn’t touch so they will cook evenly.
    Dip in your favorite Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing. Or, make your own with a sour cream base.
    Leftovers can be reheated in the Air Fryer, if you have one. Use a toaster oven or regular oven, but I don’t recommend a microwave for reheating.

      Wowza! I made a triple batch for my hubby’s work picnic and they are awesome!!! The only changes I made were as follows:
      1. Lots of finely chopped, hickory smoked bacon added to the filling;
      2. Some Kosher salt, pepper, dried Chipotle pepper and cayenne pepper added to the filling;
      3. 2 small cans of diced peppers added to both to the filling and to the puff pastry when I rolled it out.
      Perfection!!! Thank you!!!
