Nadapeno Garden Poppers

Nadapeno gives you the shape and crunch of jalapeno poppers without the heat, which makes this a friendly harvest recipe for mixed tables.

Ingredients

  • 12 Nadapeno peppers, halved and seeded
  • 120 g cream cheese or fresh goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar
  • 2 tbsp chopped herbs or scallions
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • Olive oil, salt and pepper

Method

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line a tray with parchment.
  2. Mix cheese, herbs and a pinch of salt. Spoon into pepper halves.
  3. Top with breadcrumbs and a small drizzle of olive oil.
  4. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the peppers soften and the tops brown.
  5. Serve warm with tomato salsa or Habanada citrus sauce.

Grow it
