Baked Bacon Jalapeno Wraps

Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2
Spread cream cheese into jalapeno pepper halves; wrap each with a piece of bacon. Secure the bacon with toothpicks to prevent unraveling while baking. Arrange wrapped jalapeno peppers onto a baking sheet with cream cheese side facing down.

Step 3
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Step 4
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, turn, and continue cooking until the bacon is completely browned, about 10 minutes more.

Step 5
Transfer jalapeno wraps to preheated grill; cook until the bacon is crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
