jalapeño bites
My mom loves spicy dishes, and this recipe for a jalapeño pepper snack is one of her favorites. I’ve had deep-fried Cheddar jalapeño poppers at restaurants, but these cheesy bites use cream cheese and Parmesan for a different flavor. I really can’t be left alone with these!

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Mix the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, jalapeños, and egg to form a paste. Shape into balls using about ½ tablespoon of paste for each. Roll the balls in the bread crumbs. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.
Recipe Notes

Handle hot chiles like jalapeño, habanero, or cayenne with care. Always wash your hands after handling. They may cause chemical burns to sensitive skin. If you’ve ever handled a hot chile and then scratched your eyes, you know what I’m talking about!
