When you’re craving the sweet and spicy combination of spicy jalapeno and cream cheese but want to skip the stuffing and frying, then this recipe for slightly healthier oven-baked jalapeno poppers is all yours!
In the follow-along recipe video featured below, recipe creator Justin Grimm adds more pop to his stuffed jalapenos by adding both white cheddar cheese and cream cheese, plus everyone’s favorite: Bacon! 🥓
He also makes the prep work for this recipe a bit easier by cutting the jalapenos in half and stuffing them like cute little boats full of melty cheese and crunchy bacon 😋 So, not only are these jalapeno poppers easier to make, they’re easier to eat, too!
Now round up your ingredients, grab your F.N. Sharp knives, get that cutting board ready and follow along with Justin as he shows us how to use the F.N. Sharp Paring Knife for slicing up those jalapenos and the F.N. Sharp Santoku Knife for chopping up some bacon, cilantro and chives 🔪
F.N. Sharp Chef Tips: 🔪 You can build little mounds of Kosher salt on the sheet pan and then place halved, filled jalapeños gently on top of each to keep them from tipping.
🔪 Wear gloves when handling the jalapeños! (Mainly while slicing and de-seeding). If you don't have gloves on hand, no worries! Coat your hands with oil (the cheap stuff) so it acts as a barrier – just be sure to wipe off any excess and handle that knife with caution 😁

The knife arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Not only is the knife well balance and very sharp, it is also beautiful. I'll be getting all my knives at F.N. Sharp in the future!
Good quality and very sharp. My one disappointment though is they are Made in China. I thought they were Japanese made or USA. Not just "designed in USA from a Japanese steel. But, they are very sharp and good weight. Attractive knives. Good website with tons of knife related information. The price isn't bad for the good quality. I just prefer USA made.
