Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • silicon baking mat
  • mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour or whole wheat or gluten-free mix
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt recommended: Stonyfield or Fage 0%

Jalapenos

  • 8 jalapeño peppers sliced in half lengthwise, seeded and stemmed
  • 3 ounces light cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 medium scallions green part only, sliced
  • 2 ounces part-skim sharp cheddar about ½ cup
  • 1 egg white beaten (whole egg works fine too)
  • 1 candy eyes available at Michaels, Amazon or most supermarkets

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Line a baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper. If using parchment paper, spray with oil to avoid sticking.
  • Combine cream cheese, cheddar, Parmesan and scallions in a medium bowl. Fill peppers with cheese filling with a small spoon or spatula.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well. Add the yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.
  • Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is smooth and tacky, but not sticky, about 15 turns (it should not leave dough on your hand when you pull away).
  • Dust your work surface and a rolling pin with more flour.
  • Roll the dough out thin into a rectangle about 13 x 9 inches. Slice the dough into ½ inch-thick slices.
  • Wrap the dough around each jalapeno half leaving room for the eyes and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining jalapenos and dough.
  • Brush each with the egg wash and bake in oven for 30 minutes, until the peppers are hot and golden.
  • Add the eyes and serve warm on a platter.

Notes

To save time, you can also use pizza dough or crescent roll dough.
