  • For a spicier version, leave some of the seeds and membranes in the jalapeno halves.
  • You can also try using different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or mozzarella, for a variation in flavor.
  • If you don't have an oven, you can also fry the poppers in hot oil until golden and crispy.

Storage and Serving

  • Cheesy poppers are best served hot and fresh.
  • If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat, place the poppers in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve them as an appetizer at parties, game nights, or as a tasty snack.
