Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Carefully slice each jalapeno lengthwise. With a small spoon, meticulously remove the seeds and membranes from each half. Arrange the jalapeno halves on the prepared baking sheet. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, horseradish, garlic powder, and paprika until smooth and well combined. Generously stuff each jalapeno half with this creamy mixture. Envelop each stuffed jalapeno with a delicate strip of prosciutto. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers have softened slightly and the cheese is lightly golden-brown, approximately 15 to 17 minutes.

05

Step

While the poppers are baking, prepare the apricot glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the apricot preserves, water, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Continue whisking until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and keep warm. (8 minutes)

06

Step

Arrange the baked jalapeno poppers on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the warm apricot sauce. Serve immediately and savor the sweet and spicy symphony.

For a spicier kick, leave some of the seeds in the jalapenos.
If you don't have prosciutto, bacon can be used as a substitute.
The apricot sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
