Jalapeño poppers are a popular appetizer made from halved and seeded jalapeño peppers that are typically stuffed with a mixture of cheese, often cream cheese or cheddar cheese, and sometimes other ingredients like spices or meats. They are usually breaded and deep-fried or baked until golden and crispy, providing a delicious contrast to the spicy pepper. These tasty bites are commonly served at parties, barbecues, and sports events. The heat of the jalapeño is balanced by the creamy filling, making them a favorite for those who enjoy a bit of spice in their snacks.
