Jalapeno Pepper And Herb Cheese Mousse Recipes

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add jalapeno peppers, cover, and steam until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Mix cream cheese with Parmesan, Cheddar, and feta cheeses, garlic, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder in a bowl.
• Arrange jalapeno peppers on prepared baking sheet. Spoon cheese mixture into each pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeno peppers, garlic and green onions.
• Fill wonton wrappers with approximately 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture each. Fold wrappers into triangles and press the edges with a moistened fork to seal.
• In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Drop 4 wontons at a time into the oil and quickly fry, turning once. Remove when golden brown and drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients, except the whole jalapenos, together in a bowl.
• Place an oiled 2in chefs' ring in the middle of a plate and fill with the mixture, smoothing the top with a palette knife.
• Briefly heat the sides of the ring with a mini-blowtorch and remove.
• To serve, place the jalapeno peppers around the mousse.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and return to pot; set aside.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and jalapenos; cook until just softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in flour, coating vegetables well. Whisk in milk slowly until smooth. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly until thickened, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
• Season sauce with garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in processed cheese and cream cheese until melted and sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• Pour macaroni into cheese sauce and stir to coat completely. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Cool briefly.
• Crumble bacon and mix with panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over macaroni. Top with jalapeno slices.
• Bake, uncovered, until browned and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
