Description

These Savory Stuffed Jalapeño Bites are the perfect appetizer, combining spicy jalapeños with a creamy filling of sausage, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. They’re easy to make and sure to impress at any gathering!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 fresh jalapeño peppers, halved lengthwise with seeds removed
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking dish or sheet.
  • Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, and shredded Parmesan. Stir until well blended.
  • Stuff the Jalapeños: Place the halved jalapeños on the prepared baking dish. Fill each jalapeño half generously with the sausage and cheese mixture, ensuring they are well-packed.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and bubbly.
  • Serve: Serve the jalapeño bites hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeños.
  • Make these ahead of time and bake just before serving for easy entertaining.
