Ingredients
6 jalapeños, halved lengthwise and seeded
4 oz brie cheese, cut into bite-sized cubes
1/4 cup berry jam (blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, or mixed)
Optional toppings:
Honey, for drizzling
Crushed pecans or walnuts
Fresh thyme or rosemary leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the jalapeños by halving them lengthwise and removing seeds and ribs.
Stuff each jalapeño half with a cube of brie.
Top with jam – about 1/2 teaspoon on each popper.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until brie is melted and jalapeños are softened.
Finish with optional honey drizzle, nuts, or herbs. Serve warm.
Notes
To reduce heat, soak jalapeños in cold water for 10–15 minutes before stuffing.
Can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving.
Use hot pepper jelly for extra spice or swap in goat cheese for tang.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 300°F for 5–7 minutes.
