What is "jalapeño popper"?

A jalapeño popper is a popular appetizer that consists of jalapeño peppers that have been stuffed with a mixture of cheese, usually cream cheese or cheddar cheese, and sometimes bacon or other seasonings, then breaded or battered and deep-fried until crispy. The dish is known for its spicy and creamy flavor combination and is often served as a snack or appetizer at parties or gatherings. Jalapeño poppers can also be made using different cooking methods, such as baking or air frying, to make a slightly healthier version of this classic comfort food. The heat of the jalapeño pepper is balanced by the cool creaminess of the cheese filling, making for a delicious and satisfying snack that is perfect for those who enjoy spicy foods. Jalapeño poppers are often served with a dipping sauce, such as ranch or sour cream, to enhance the flavor of the dish.
