Recipe: Roasted-Not-Fried Jalapeno Poppers

from Food Network, Rachael Ray

Nothing says game day like snacking on a truckload of jalapeno poppers. Remake the bar staple by stuffing peppers with smoked pepper cheese, feta and cream cheese, and cooking them in the oven instead of frying.

Ingredients

12 large jalapeno peppers
2 ounces feta cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces shredded smoked pepper Jack cheese, or other hot pepper cheese, or extra-sharp Cheddar
A small handful fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 tablespoons grated onion

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Cut 1/3 of each pepper off lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place on a baking sheet. If peppers do not sit flat on the baking sheet, slice a thin piece off the bottom of the pepper so it will not roll around.

Mash the feta, cream cheese, shredded cheese, cilantro, and onion together and stuff the peppers with the mixture. Roast for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is brown at the edges and bubbly.
