Ingredients
- 15 jalapenos
- 4 oz brick of Swiss cheese diced small
- 3 slices Ham diced small
- 5 Kosher pickles seeds removed and diced very small
- ¾ cup plain Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 TBS butter
- ½ TBS Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Slice your jalapenos in half and clean them out with a small dessert spoon (removing stems and seeds from the insides and discard). Be careful of your eyes while you do this. Don't touch your eyes with your fingers for a while after.
- Line jalapeno halves on a baking sheet, stuff with the ham, cheese and pickles. I prefer layering the pickles in first, followed by a mixture of the ham & cheese.
- Press down to allow a tight fit of the mixture into the peppers.
- Combine the Panko, butter and mustard, blend with your fingertips until completely incorporated. Season with salt & pepper.
- Place a mound of crumbs atop each pepper.
- Bake for 15-25 minutes, depending on your preference for pepper doneness as well as pepper size and thickness.
- These can also be made on the grill.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Always be careful handling jalapenos. You never know when you'll get a hot one. Don't touch your eyes or face with your fingers.
