Low Carb Jalapeno Poppers

"I was craving poppers but didn't want super greasy bacon or high carb breading so I invented these... Sometimes instead of the garlic powder and seasoning salt, I use 2 tsp of a product called Johnny's Garlic Spread Seasoning which is just awesome - I buy it at Costco here in Canada. The number of jalapenos varies depending on the size you get and how much spread you put inside each half! Tried it with fat-free cream cheese and it just didn't have a good texture. Have also used shredded taco cheese blend right out of the freezer instead of plain cheddar!"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the top of each jalapeno and cut in half lengthwise, then remove the veins and seeds and put aside. Cut each slice of proscuitto in half.
  • Mix together the cream cheese, seasonings, and cheddar.
  • Fill each jalapeno half with cream cheese mixture and wrap with half a slice of proscuitto, making sure that you fold it over the cut off top end so that the cream cheese mixture can't escape!
  • Put on baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes, until the proscuitto is crispy then serve!

  1. Yum! I used Johnny's seasoning and these vanished. I also made a batch with poblanos, more of a light meal size than an appetizer. Thanks for a great recipe. Lille, a fellow Calgary RZ fan
     
  2. This is a great alternative for a healthier appy. I switched the prosciutto with lean ham slices and I substituted Fat Free Herb & Garlic cream cheese for the remaining ingredients. Simpler and still flavorful. Thanks for the idea!

<p>Picture taken just for Zaar - mmmm milkshake...</p> <p>I'm a brand new single mommy to my tiny perfect human, so thank you to everyone who takes the time to make and review my recipes - I try to send a zmail to each of you, but baby girl has a different idea.</p> <p>I'm a good ol' prairie girl from Canada with one side of the family being Ukrainian/Slovakian and the other side is German/Russian. In other words, when we cook we take carbs, cover them in more carbs, fry'em and serve it smothered in onions and cream.&nbsp;<br />No pro chefs in my family, just grandmas and aunts and cousins and a mom that had me pinching perogies and stuffing strudel before I could form a complete sentence. <br />The most dreaded / laughed at phrase I say is, So last night, I invented this thing for supper... - I would probably publish more recipes if I actually remembered everything I put in or had an idea of how much I added!!</p>
