jalapeño popper pizza

All the goodness of a jalapeño popper on a perfectly-cooked pizza | winstead wandering

I don’t pass up an opportunity to eat anything with the name “jalapeño popper”.

I also don’t say no to pizza. Ever.


So you can imagine my glee when, while scanning Pinterest, I saw a recipe for jalapeño popper pizza. I spent days drooling over the thought of this recipe. It took a couple weeks before I had the chance to make it.

And it was so worth the wait.

Jalapeño Popper Pizza
adapted from here

-1 ball of my never-need-delivery-again pizza dough
-4 ounces cream cheese, softened
-2 jalapeños, seeded and thinly sliced
-1/4 to 1/2 onion, finely diced
-4 slices of bacon, cooked and diced (the first time I made the recipe, I didn’t use bacon and it was still unbelievable)
-1 to 1 1/2 cups grated cheese (pepperjack, cheddar, or any blend will work fine)
-olive oil
-kosher salt

Preheat oven to 475 degrees with pizza stone inside and rack in second lowest position. Roll out the pizza dough to a 10 to 12 inch circle and transfer it to parchment paper. Use a fork to poke holes across the entire crust, leaving a one inch border. Bake crust on parchment paper for 5-7 minutes or until it loses its shine. Note: for full details on this pizza crust recipe, including baking instructions, see the original post.

Remove from the oven and brush olive oil over the outside rim. Spread with cream cheese. It’ll seem like you have too much cream cheese, but trust me, use it all. Next, add your shredded cheese, jalapeños, bacon, and onion. Return to oven and bake 6-8 minutes, until crust is a deep golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven again and brush olive oil over the outside crust. Sprinkle the whole thing with kosher salt, paying careful attention to the olive oiled rim.

    I could never say no to pizza. It’s just so dang good! I’m also a fan of jalapeno poppers, but I’ve never heard of the two together! I definitely need to try this.

    I have to be honest… much like your pinterest story, I saw the name of this post on blogging elite and went “MY TWO FAVOURITE THINGS!!!!!”

    It doesn’t look healthy, but it looks AMAZING!

    one of my guilty pleasures is swapping out the gravy in a poutine for cajun spice (just on the melted cheese curds and fries)… so tasty.

      Healthy, it is not. But yes, it’s definitely amazing! I love Cajun flavors, so that sounds intriguing!
