Forget jalapeno poppers, these pickle poppers are going to be your new favorite party appetizer! Don't worry, we've still got jalapenos in these stuffed pickles mixed into cream cheese (and cheddar) before getting wrapped in deli meat. It's a perfect little starter recipe.
Ingredients
12 whole baby dill pickles
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened (1/2 cup)
2-ounce cheddar cheese, finely shredded
1 - 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
12 thin slices deli ham or turkey, halved
2 tablespoon jalapeno jam or hot pepper jelly (optional)
Directions
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Halve the pickles lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the centers. Pat dry.
• In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Transfer cream cheese mixture to a re-sealable plastic bag. Snip the corner of the bag and pipe cream cheese mixture into the pickle halves. Wrap each pickle half with ham and secure with a toothpick, if needed. Place pickles in a foil-lined baking pan. If desired, brush with jam.
• Bake about 15 minutes or until heated through
