Baked Jalapeno Poppers

To go with our lobster and steamer lunch yesterday, I made some jalapeno poppers. I have a few recipes for them, and some required crab or some other fancy things, and I decided to keep it simple. There's not much explanation to go along with these, or any exciting stories like the recent cupcake failure.

Baked Jalapeno Poppers

10 jalapenos, cut in half lengthwise and seeds and ribs removed
4 oz. cream cheese
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus extra for topping
10 strips of bacon, cut in half

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Prep the jalapenos. Be sure to use gloves when doing this! Handling jalapeno seeds can burn your hands and anything they touch!
3. Mix the cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Spoon into the jalapeno halves.
4. Top with a little shredded cheddar and wrap with the bacon.
5. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the oven on broil and broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the top layer of bacon.
