Laughing Cow jalapeno poppers are jalapeno halves filled with light creamy Swiss cheese wedges, topped with shredded cheddar or provolone and baked instead of breaded and fried. They satisfy a popper craving with fewer calories than the fried kind.
Ingredients
4medium jalapenos
4-6ozof laughing cow cheese or cream cheesedepending on the size of your jalapenos
4ozshredded cheeseI like to use cheddar or provolone
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 350º F.
Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove white membranes and seeds. If you don’t like a lot of heat, make sure to remove all the membranes from the inside of the jalapeno. I like to leave the top stem on because it looks cute and prevents the cheese from leaking once it melts.
Sprinkle a tad of salt and pepper over jalapenos. Fill each half of jalapeno with cream cheese, spreading it with a butter knife or a spoon. Sprinkle cheese evenly over cream cheese.
Place each jalapeno half on a baking sheet with the cheese filled side facing up.
Bake in pre-heated oven for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese on top is brown.
This is so easy and quick and can be easily assembled ahead and kept in the fridge until baking time.
