If you are looking for vegetarian jalapeno poppers that pack a flavor punch, look no further!

This appetizer recipe has all the flavors you look for – a little salty, a little spicy, and a little sweet.

How to Make Vegetarian Jalapeno Poppers

To make these poppers, start with jalapeno peppers.

Slice the poppers in half lengthwise. Then carefully scape out all the seeds and viens.

You may want to wear gloves while doing this. Also, do not touch your face or eyes while handling jalapenos, and be sure to wash your hands when you are finished.

Bake the jalapenos at 400 for 15 minutes. Allow to cool five minutes before stuffing.

Next, you want to mix cream cheese with Everything But the Bagel seasoning.

By the way, if you want to make these poppers vegan – not just vegetarian – you could use a vegan cream cheese substitute.

Helpful Hint: It is easiest to mix the seasoning blend into the cream cheese if you have allowed the cheese to come to room temperature.

If you don’t have Everything Bagel seasoning, you can make your own Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend by combining:

• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
• 2 teaspoons flaky salt

Once you’ve mixed the cheese and seasoning, spread the cheese onto the cooked jalapenos.

Return the stuffed jalapenos to the oven for an additional 15 minutes.

Once your jalapeno poppers are out of the oven, top them with a little red pepper jelly.

These are SO GOOD!!!! Everyone will love these – vegetarians and ominvores alike!

While you have the Everything Bagel Seasoning Blend out, why not make some Everything But The Bagel Baked Cheese Crisps? They are super simple to make – in fact, you could bake them at the same time you bake the jalapeno poppers!
