Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

This addictive finger food is a perfect marriage of textures and flavors: creamy, chive-flecked cheese cuts the bite of roasted jalapeños, while crispy bacon adds crunch.

MAKES 40 POPPERS

INGREDIENTS

20 large jalapeños (about 1 lb.), halved and seeded
20 strips bacon (about 1 lb.), cut in half
1 lb. cream cheese, softened
⅔ cup grated Parmesan
2 tbsp. chopped chives
¼ tsp. cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Arrange an oven rack 4″ from broiler and heat broiler to high. Place jalapeño halves cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet, and broil just until softened, 3-5 minutes; set aside. Place bacon on another baking sheet; broil until fat is rendered and bacon is halfway cooked; set aside.

2. Turn oven to 425°. Mix cheeses, chives, cayenne, salt and pepper in a bowl. Spoon about 1 tbsp. filling in each jalapeno half. Wrap each with a strip of bacon and secure with toothpicks. Return to baking sheet and bake until bacon is crisp and filling is melted, 10-12 minutes.

When I print recipes, I'd like to have a picture.

When I print from your recipes, even though a picture is shown, it does not print.

Can you fix this, perhaps give an option of printing with or without a picture?

Thanks.
