Ingredients

Scale

Jalapeños

  • 10 to 12 jalapeños, halved lengthwise and seeded

Cheese

  • 6 to 8 ounces brie cheese, cut into small cubes

Filling and Toppings

  • 1/3 cup blueberry preserves or fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh thyme or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Jalapeños: Slice the jalapeños lengthwise in half and carefully remove the seeds, leaving some if you prefer extra heat.
  3. Fill Jalapeños: Arrange the jalapeño halves cut-side up on the baking sheet. Place a small cube of brie cheese into each jalapeño cavity.
  4. Add Blueberry Topping: Spoon a small amount of blueberry preserves or place a few fresh blueberries on top of the brie in each jalapeño.
  5. Drizzle and Sprinkle: Lightly drizzle honey over the stuffed jalapeños, then sprinkle with optional chopped nuts, lemon zest, and a pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the jalapeños soften slightly and the brie cheese melts beautifully.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired, and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Adjust the heat level by leaving some seeds in the jalapeños if you prefer more spiciness.
  • For a creamier texture, increase the amount of brie cheese used.
  • Use fresh blueberries as a flavorful alternative to preserves for a fresher taste.
  • Chopped nuts add a nice crunch but are entirely optional depending on preference and allergies.
