Description

Unbelievably good and deceptively low-fat appetizers. Stuffed with mushrooms and cheese, wrapped in turkey bacon. Perfect for a party!

Ingredients

  • 12  Jalapeños
  • 1-½ cup Mushrooms, Finely Chopped
  • ¾ cups Shredded Cheese, Monterey Jack, Manchego, Or Goat
  • ½ cups Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Finely Chopped
  • 12 strips Turkey Bacon

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 450˚F.
2. Remove the stems from the jalapeños. Slice each one in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and the white membranes inside. You may want to use a spoon or wash your hands very well afterwards. Do not touch your eyes! Use gloves if you’re particularly sensitive.
3. Combine the mushrooms, cheese, yogurt and garlic in a bowl, stir well. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the mushroom mixture into each jalapeño half.
4. Slice each bacon strip in half lengthwise; that’s hot-dog style, folks. Wrap a half strip of bacon around each jalapeño and secure with a toothpick. Put them on a lightly greased baking sheet.
5. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
