Jalapeno Pillows

So my boyfriend LOVES spicy stuff.  I found another recipe from Pillsbury called Jalapeno Pillows.  Made those as part of lunch today and he loved them.  I'll give the recipe as they do, then tell you how he would change them. 

Ingredients

• • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (6 oz)
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh jalapeño chiles (or to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 1 egg
  • Water

  Steps

  • Step 1 Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, chiles, salt, pepper and garlic powder until well combined. Set aside.
  • Step 2 Separate dough into 8 biscuits. With rolling pin, roll out each biscuit into about 1/8-inch-thick round. Spoon about 1 tablespoon cheese filling onto center of each. Bring up dough around filling; pinch to seal tightly. Place seam side down on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Step 3 To make egg wash, beat egg with splash of water. Brush tops of stuffed biscuits with some of the egg wash. Sprinkle tops with additional salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.  Add a small slice of jalapeño for garnish if you’d like.
  • Step 4  Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and firm. Serve warm. 

   
  Now here's how we would change it.  When he diced the Jalapeno's he gutted them, then washed them off, then diced them.  But then they lost most of their hotness.  So he would next time just gut them and dice them leaving some of the seeds on the inside.  In addition he said it needed some bacon.  Also we put a piece of Jalapeno on top like it indicated and it didn't come out so well.  Under that piece it didn't cook at all.   So we would leave that off.  Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the process for this one.  We were making 3 different things at once.  But the link to the website with the recipe is here: Jalapeno Pillows
