Keto Jalapeno Popper Bites – Only 4 Ingredients Needed | Easy Game Night Snack!

Jalapeno Popper Bites

yield: 12 SERVINGS

prep time: 5 MINUTES

cook time: 15 MINUTES

total time: 20 MINUTES

Ingredients

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If needed, grease nonstick muffin tin. (My Caraway pan requires no greasing but yours might.)

2

Evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheese into the bottom of each muffin tin.

3

Pat dry jalapenos using a paper towel and place them on top of the cheese layer, distributed as evenly as possible.

4

Place a cube of cream cheese on top of each jalapeno layer and gently press to flatten a little.

5

Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the cream cheese layer so all other ingredients are covered.

6

Sprinkled crumbled bacon over the final shredded cheese layer.

7

Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes. Watch to make sure that the cheese doesn't burn. Browning on the edges a bit is normal.

8

Allow popper bites to cool for about 5 minutes in the muffin tin before transferring them to a cooling rack.

9

Before plating, sprinkle with green onions or other garnish if desired. I prefer to serve them warm, however, they are also good at room temperature. Enjoy!

Rock this jalapeno popper bites recipe with a few hip tips:

  • Don’t forget to dry your jarred jalapenos first by pressing out the moisture using paper towels.
  • Please the crowd with two batches—make one using mild jalapenos for the wimpier crew and another using hot jalapenos for heat lovers!
  • Be sure to use a good nonstick muffin tin. My Caraway pan works AMAZING and didn’t require any extra greasing. The poppers literally slide right out after cooking.
  • Play with it to make it your own! Try a different type of cheese like Pepper Jack or add something unexpected like crumbled chorizo in place of bacon. 😱

4 ingredients, 5 minutes of prep, 15 minutes in the oven… TOUCHDOWN!

This recipe proves that sometimes you can be a lazy cook and still make a winning dish!
