Step 1
Slice each jalapeño lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and white ribs with a small spoon.
Step 2
Fill each jalapeño half with about 1 tsp cream cheese using a small spoon.
Step 3
Wrap one bacon slice tightly around each filled jalapeño half, tucking the end underneath.
Step 4
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles on contact, ~60 seconds.
Step 5
Arrange jalapeños seam-side down in the skillet without crowding. Cook 5 minutes until bacon crisps.
Step 6
Flip each jalapeño. Cook 2 minutes more until bacon is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Cool 2 minutes before serving.
