Jalapeno Bacon Popper Recipe

Jalapeño Bacon Roses

Makes 12 roses

1 pound Fantasma's Finest Jalapeño Bacon

1 quarter cup whipped cream cheese

1/2 a large jalapeño, finely minced

Fresh basil

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Take a slice of bacon and roll it into a "rose" and secure it at the bottom with a toothpick. Continue to roll up 12 buds and place each upright in a muffin pan. Bake the bacon for 20-30 minutes, depending on your preference for doneness. Remove muffin pan from the oven and place bacon roses on a paper towel to blot excess fat.

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and jalapeños. Use a piping bag to fill the hole of the bacon with cream cheese.

Use basil sprigs to create a rose bush and serve.
