Description
These jalapeño poppers are filled with creamy brie and topped with cranberry sauce, making for a delicious appetizer!
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 large jalapeños, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 6 ounces brie cheese, rind removed
- ½ cup whole cranberry sauce, homemade or canned
- ¼ cup chopped pecans, toasted (optional)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the brie into small pieces that will fit inside each jalapeño half, about 2 inches long and ¼-inch thick, depending on the size of the peppers.
- Place a piece of brie into each jalapeño half. Arrange the halves snugly on the baking sheet so they stay upright as the cheese melts.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of each jalapeño. If using canned cranberry sauce, stir it in a small bowl to loosen the texture and make it easier to spoon. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if using.
- Bake for 13 to 17 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbling and the jalapeños have softened slightly.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve warm.
Notes
- These poppers can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your serving size.
