Jalapeno Stuffed Feta Cheese
One thing that I find about jalapenos is that their heat can vary from shop to shop. Although they may look the same green crunchy peppers when you bite into them the heat can suddenly be surprising. Normally I find them to be a pleasant heat. However, recently I had one batch that was a heat explosion in my mouth. It still didn’t deter me though as I ate my way through them.
If you are looking for a slightly different stuffed jalapeno recipe, then give these jalapeno stuffed feta peppers a try. For the meat eaters you could wrap bacon around them but first try them without. Then feel free to have a play around with the recipe.
