Felicia Lisa Even tho’ I have some Hispanic roots I am not a lover of super hot things. I’m not even up on my hot pepper-ology. So.. is there a milder pepper I could make these with? I could make them with bell peppers but they would be MONDO HUGE and a first course.. NOT horderves… LOL Not that a GIANT BLOB of bacon flavored cream cheese is beneath me… rotf
-
Cherie Antin Fasbinder I’d try banana peppers – they are not hot… or if you want to try bell peppers (I would use colored ones, not green – personal taste) just cut them up in chunks, mound some of the cheese filling on top, then wrap in the puff pastry being sure to seal the package good.
-
Felicia Lisa Do Jalapeño peppers back off on the heat when baked? I think it’s the seeds that are super hot.. yes… no??
-
Cherie Antin Fasbinder you are absolutely right… the majority of the heat is in the seeds & membranes. They still have a nice kick, but removing the seeds/membranes tames them quite a bit.
-
Felicia Lisa Is the membrane the lining or the outer skin?
-
Cherie Antin Fasbinder the “seams” on the inside
-
Felicia Lisa Oh…k… THANKS! Like the ribs in the bell pepper. I might get brave and make them with the jalapeños. Is it true you have to wear a HAZMAT suit to handle jalapeños or the oils can get you badly?
-
Cherie Antin Fasbinder exactly! I have found if I am working with just a FEW peppers I can deal with it… but wash your hands very well afterward, and whatever you do, do NOT touch your eyes! Preferably I wear rubber gloves when I handle them… especially when I handle a lot of them like making my salsa.
-
Markeen BelongstoJesus Gillette BUT IF…by chance, ya got just a bit TOO MUCH PEPPER OIL ON YA, rub the area with OIL OR BUTTER… massage it, THEN wash with warm soapy water…. the pepper oil comes off with the butter/oil LOTS OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS
-
Cherie Antin Fasbinder wow, never heard of that… will have to remember that!
