We made these as appitizers for Christmas. They were gone within minutes of hitting the table. We will be making them again for our father’s day cook out.
My family, including teenagers, love this. We grow are own jalapenos so every august this will be a treat.
I’ve been making these for years. I’ve always found my guests always prefer the peppers to retain a little crunchiness. I recommend a cooking time of 9-11 minutes.
