My friends are always asking me "how do I make my bacon wrapped jalapenos on the
Big Green Egg" well it's fairly simple and I'm gonna show you today! So it
requires jalapenos, bacon, (Wright brand bacon) and Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and
a Big Green Egg if you happen to have one. I prefer to get the largest
jalapenos that I can find because I like to stuff them with cream cheese a little
bit more and little bit more bacon, but if you prefer smaller ones that'll work
too. I use Wright Brand bacon because I like the really thick cut and it tastes
really good. And then lastly but not least is Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Now
I use the regular you can use another brand if you prefer but I use regular
because I think it cooks better. I would not recommend using the light version. So
let's get started. So I rearranged everything here so that you could see a
little better. So I like to start with taking the jalapenos and cutting the
butts off. Now I don't completely cut the butt off. I just cut probably an eighth
of an inch off because I like to leave it whole in the end, and the reason why is
after you cut it in half I can take and ever so slightly cut along the
top edge and when I do that it allows me to make a little bit of a bucket out of
it and you'll see as I peel off the innards of the seeds you'll see that it
leaves me a nice clean bucket. Now go ahead and take out the insides
to get rid of the veins and all of the seeds because it's a little too hot for
some people. If it's not for you feel free to leave the seeds in the veins in.
And then I'll just do that again and again with each jalapeno.
Just leaves a nice little little bucket to put the cream cheese and okay once
you get your little boats made you just take your cream cheese your Philadelphia
Cream Cheese I'd suggest letting it sit out for just a little bit before you do
this because it makes it a little bit easier to to manipulate and get into the
hell opinion you can use other types of cheese if you like you can use cheddar
cheese I've done that before you can use case so goood or or pretty much any kind
of cheese you want but I just tend to find that the cream cheese turns out
better it tastes better and besides who doesn't like cream cheese right and I
don't know it's a little bit easier to get him a jalapeno but but really it's
it's personal choice and it's it's up to you if you want to experiment and try
different things you really have to be an artist either just kind of showed in
their cover it with bacon anyway right
ok what you gonna do next is get you some baking now this is where it gets
really fun who doesn't love bacon so what I generally do and and you can do
it different if you like but what I generally do as I'll take so I've got 10
how opinions here and I'll use five pieces of bacon so cut the bacon and a
half
some people prefer to have more bacon on their jalapenos when you do that it
takes a little bit longer to cook and sometimes the inside of the jalapeno
gets a little too hot because it takes longer to cook the bacon but it's it's
up to you and you can you can try cooking it different ways if you like
but but that's what I do and then you're simply going to take the bacon and
you're going to wrap it around the jalapeno like so and then I'll stick
right before I put it on the grill I'll stick packs through the center of them
to hold them on as they cook but you can do that right before you stick it on the
grill ok I went ahead and Rep the rest of them up but the toothpicks and
they're ready to go so let's just take him on the Big Green Egg I like to put
the hell opinions right around the outside I use direct cooking but I put
them around the outside and make it a little bit less direct I think this
makes them tick a little bit better and they don't burn in the centre they'll
burn well unless you want to lower the heater you could use the place the order
or there's other options as well but but this is the way I like to do it I think
they turn out the best when you just kind of place around the outside edges
whips that's not good here we go
and will run about 352 probably take about 40 minutes
we're getting really close you can see that the bacon ascertain the crispy
cream cheese is melted really well this is going to be good
alright it's time to take these off here you know a lot of my friends asked me if
he is or some other kind of seasoning salt on here you can if you like it
works really good I personally think that Wright brand bacon and salty enough
so I don't do that these are going to be good
alright so that is how you make Big Green Egg jalapenos wrapped with bacon
love these this is probably my favorite treat that I make on the egg I could hit
probably twice a week sometimes more I hope you enjoy them as much as I do and
