jalapeño poppers

Fried filled chilies

Jalapeño poppers are a snack or appetizer of jalapeño peppers stuffed with cheese or cream cheese, breaded, and deep-fried or baked.

The crispy coating and rich filling temper the pepper's heat.

They're a staple of American bar food and casual dining: We ordered jalapeño poppers and wings while we watched the game.
