Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2.
Slice your Jalapeño Peppers (5) into thin slices. About half an inch thick. Make sure to cut out seeds if you don't want them spicy.
3.
Toss jalapeno slices with Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) and Onion Salt (1/2 tsp), Ground Black Pepper (to taste), arrange flat on baking tray with parchment paper.
4.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until jalapeno slices are crispier. This is why it's important to cut them thin. If you cut thicker they will take long to bake.
5.
Next remove jalapenos and let cool. Blot jalapenos with paper towel so you remove extra oil.
6.
Place your oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) now. Then re-line your baking tray with parchment paper.
7.
Take half of your Cheese (2 cups) slice and cut in half or into 2-3 pieces. You can also just pull them apart into pieces.
8.
Fold it around the jalapeno slice/ring. Make sure it's still flat. Not a ball. Place on baking sheet with parchment paper. Repeat until you have used up all your slices.
9.
Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for about 6-7 minutes or until cheese is crispy. Be sure to check after 5 minutes so they don't burn.
10.
Remove from oven, let cool, then season with more pepper or Sea Salt (to taste) if desired.
11.
Serve with Tabasco® Original Red Pepper Sauce (to taste) or rach sauce. It's great!
