I created this recipe after chatting with some friends about a fig and goat cheese burger. I couldn’t stop thinking about this recipe and how it would work out. It was such a hit, I had to share it with everyone!

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven to 405 degrees Fahrenheit.
375 degrees Fahrenheit in an air fryer.
-
Half and seed your Jalapeños
Cut the tops off your jalapeños. Cut in half lengthwise, take a spoon and pull the seeds out from the center.
-
Filling your Jalapeños
Fill your jalapeño crevices with your herbed goat cheese. After you have them filled, spoon some fig jam over the goat cheese.
-
Wrap your filled jalapeños with a whole strip of bacon. I like to start from the top and work my way down to the bottom, this way the end of my bacon is on under the popper.
-
Baking your poppers
Place your poppers onto an oven-safe rack on top of a sheet pan. This helps circulate airflow and provides the bacon with a crisp exterior.
-
Evenly sprinkle brown sugar and black pepper on top of the jalapeño poppers.
If you want it more spicy, add some cayenne pepper on top too!
-
Bake at 405 for 25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the brown sugar is caramelized. Serve immediately.
I look forward to more deliciously tempting recipes
