Ingredients (See Box Above, "IMPORTANT - About Our Recipes" for Information about Quantities)

  • Jalapeño Peppers
  • Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • Creamy Goat Cheese
  • Fresh Oregano or other Fresh Herbs of choice, chopped
  • Fire Roasted Tomatoes I got these from the Olive Bar at my local Kroger Supermarket. They are also available in jars and cans.
  • Bacon to wrap

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut the jalapeños into a boat cut. (Click the link above to see how to do a Boat Cut.)
  • Sprinkle insides of cut jalapeños lightly with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place the jalapeños on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in preheated oven. Cook for about 10 minutes. (Skip this step if you prefer your finished jalapeños to be more raw and crunchy.)
  • Remove from oven and set aside to allow to cool slightly so you can handle them.
  • In a small bowl, mix goat cheese and chopped oregano, to taste.
  • Add goat cheese to each jalapeño to cover the bottom, leaving a concave "well" to place other ingredients. (Click the link above to see pictures of this step, if the instructions are unclear to you.) Set jalapeños aside.
  • Add several fire roasted tomatoes to each jalapeño.
  • Wrap each jalapeño with bacon. Secure with a toothpick, if you like.
  • Place jalapeños back on cookie sheet and place back in oven.
  • Cook, watching closely, until cream cheese is hot and bubbling and bacon is done, about 15 - 20 minutes. Check to make sure jalapeños and bacon are done to your liking. If not, place back in oven for more time.
  • Remove from oven when done and enjoy hot.
