Jalapeño Popper Turnovers
jalapeño poppers are a Tex-Mex dish consisting of hot peppers stuffed with cheese. In collaboration with Philadelphia, we took this idea and instead placed cream cheese and cheddar on phyllo dough and made triangular bites. Chopped jalapeños are included for added heat. These hors d’oeuvres are sure to spice up any party.
Ingredients
- 4 oz (115 g) bacon, diced
- 1 block (250 g) cream cheese, softened (see note)
- 1 cup (100 g) sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 jalapeño chili peppers, seeded or not, chopped (see note)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) vegetable oil
- 6 sheets frozen phyllo pastry, thawed
Instructions
- In a small pot, cook the bacon until golden. Drain on paper towels and let cool.
- In a bowl, combine the bacon with the remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
