Cranberry Chorizo Jalapeno Poppers
Spicy jalapenos, filled with a creamy, chorizo sausage and sweet cranberry stuffing, and panko crusted for a perfect crunch.
Ingredients
- 1 5.2 oz package garlic and herb cheese (such as Boursin)
- 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 4 oz finely chopped Spanish chorizo sausage
- ½ cup dried cranberries chopped
- 2 Tbs light brown sugar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 16 jalapenos halved with seeds and ribs removed
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the cheeses, chorizo, cranberries, sugar, and cinnamon. Use a fork to combine. Stuff the jalapenos and place on a bake sheet.
- Separately, add the panko to a small bowl. Drizzle with ~1/2 tsp olive oil and combine. One by one, invert each stuffed jalapeno onto the breadcrumbs and gently press. Place back on the back sheet.
- Bake at 425F for 15 minutes until peppers are just slightly softened, filling is warmed through, and panko crust is golden. Yields approximately 32 appetizers.
