There is a lot going on in these Jalapeno Poppers Wrapped in Bacon that we can consider them a delicious overload! The oozing cheddar cheese and bacon both release a lot of fat while cooking. Therefore, the best way to avoid soggy jalapeño poppers is to allow them to cool for 10 minutes before eating/serving which will give them time to stiffen up as they cool. Also, be sure to press the cheddar cheese slice down gently into the cream cheese mixture before wrapping it all in bacon. This will ensure the jalapeño is able to contain as much of the oozing cheese as possible as it cooks. Finally, transfer the Jalapeño Poppers to a paper towel lined plate while cooling. This will absorb some of that excess grease taking away that soggy element.
