Oven Baked Jalapeño Poppers
If you’re a football fan, this coming weekend is what you’ve been waiting for… Super Bowl 🏈! Do I follow football? Not really because growing up in Québec, our sport was hockey 🏒. We were all about the Montréal Canadiens although the Québec Nordiques joined the NHL in 1979.
All right, back to football… 🏈
Nonetheless, I still like watching football. There is a lot of action plus a powerful environment. When we have friends over to watch the game, I really make sure to have finger foods, small tapas, dips, and so on around.
There are so many recipes to choose from like Bruschetta, Sausalito Smoked Salmon Dip, Pull-Apart Garlic Bread, Shrimp Cocktail 🍤, Hummus, Stuffed Buns, Crab Artichoke Pepper Dip, Spanakopita, Muhammara, Pizza Dip, and many more including this one… Oven Baked Jalapeño Poppers!
These stuffed little guys are simply delightful! With a crispy topping and a cheesy filling nicely seasoned, these are so yummy 😋! They are fairly quick to make and totally a crowd pleaser. This is a delicious recipe to serve when you have family and friends over…

When the jalapeño peppers are cleaned up and ready to be filled with the cheese mixture, it’s important to not go overboard because there are more ingredients that go on top afterwards.
