Jalapeno Popper Bites

These Jalapeno Popper Bites have all the same flavors as jalapeno poppers without all of the work. Only 5 ingredients & 15 minutes is all you need!

Jalapeno poppers are one of my favorite foods.  They’re a bit on the spicy side – but with enough creamy goodness to it to balance out the heat, and the end result is popable snackable perfection.

I love making them from scratch – and have the perfect bacon wrapped version of them right here on the blog.  The only thing I don’t like is they’re a bit time consuming…. and patience isn’t exactly my strong suit.

When a craving hits, I want to be able to enjoy what I want in record time.  Like when I want dessert but just don’t want to wait for a cake to bake – so I end up grabbing a spoon and opening up a tub of store-bought frosting.  The same principal applies to all my non-sweet cravings too.

So, my impatient side totally is in foodie love with these Jalapeno Popper Bites.  They literally taste just like a jalapeno popper without the work (and patience) required!

5 ingredients.  Stir it all together. Coat & bake.  All done.  Let’s eat!

Simple enough for me.

Here’s what you need:

Finely chop your jalapeno peppers & discard the seeds. You’ll need 2 or 3 peppers, I’ve used 3.

Place the jalapeno, egg, cream cheese, & shredded Parmesan cheese in a bowl & mix to thoroughly combine.

Place the panko crumbs in a separate dish – roll the jalapeno cheese mixture into tablespoon sized balls, then dredge the balls in the panko crumbs.

Place the panko crusted balls onto a baking sheet.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
