Corn Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers
Corn Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers are the perfect sweet and spicy twist on stuffed peppers. Cream Cheese mixed with fresh Sweet Corn, added to a Spicy Jalapeño, screams Summer BBQ to me.
Chopped at Home
I am all about using my fresh garden vegetables to their full extent. I love to go out to my garden, pick a basket full of veggies, then take them to my kitchen and create something yummy and different. It is like my real life version of Chopped.
This weekend, I went out to my garden and noticed my corn had been blow over due to 60 mph winds. I knew my corn was too small harvest, but I went through and grabbed the biggest ears to try to save at least a few.
I am a big believer in waste not, want not. So I gathered my tiny corn, and took my basket to the kitchen to decide what I could whip up for supper.
An Idea Just “Popped” into My Head
Our Jalapeños are just now starting to come off, and I had just enough for a batch of poppers. I love a good Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño, and I cook them any chance I get. I also love to mix up what I stuff my poppers with. Then I seen my corn, and got an idea!
Sweet Corn and Spicy Jalapeños just sound like a match made in heaven. And man are they ever! The crunch of the fresh corn adds the perfect texture to the creamy popper filling.
