Game of Thrones Dragon Eggs Jalapeño Poppers
Ingredients for 24 Dragon Eggs
- Filling
- 1lb lean ground bison (or your choice of protein)
- 1/2 cup diced onion, raw
- 2 teaspoons garlic (powder)
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika (to make it fiery red)
- pinch of sea salt & pepper
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach, completely thawed and SQUEEZED to remove excess water
- 8oz Greek yogurt cream cheese (or reduced fat cream cheese)
- 12 jalapeños (halved and seeds removed)
- 12 slices (beef) bacon (or your choice of bacon)
Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 420F.
Step 2
Remove the seeds from the jalapeños.
Step 3
Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Once hot, spray with a little olive oil, then add the bison and onion. Chop up the meat as it cooks, then sprinkle in garlic, smoked paprika and sea salt & pepper.
Step 4
Once the meat has fully cooked and is no longer pink, drain the meat (if necessary – though it shouldn’t be since it’s lean) and add it to a large bowl along with spinach and cream cheese. Mix.
Step 5
Use a tablespoon to stuff each jalapeño half with the filling. Repeat. Slice bacon down the middle (vertically) to create 2 thin pieces.
Step 6
Wrap ONE slice around the piece of bacon. Repeat.
Step 7
Place the poppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until you see the edges of the bacon began to crisp.
Step 8
Allow them to cool slightly before enjoying!
