Crispy, golden jalapeño poppers filled with creamy Brie and bursts of juicy blueberries, delivering a bold balance of heat, richness, and sweet-tart brightness. Each bite contrasts crunchy exterior with a molten, silky center for an unexpected, crave-worthy twist.

Ingredients

• 10–12 jalapeños, halved lengthwise and seeded
• 6–8 oz (170–225 g) brie cheese, cut into small cubes
• 1/3 cup (80 g) blueberry preserves or fresh blueberries
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey
• 1 tbsp (10 g) finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1 tsp (5 g) lemon zest (optional)
• Pinch of sea salt
• Optional garnish: fresh thyme or parsley

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Place jalapeño halves on the tray and add a piece of brie into each one.
• Spoon a small amount of blueberry preserves over the brie.
