Dripping with melted cheese, Jalapeno Popper Breadsticks are prepared with pickled jalapenos, crumbled bacon, and cream cheese! Make this appetizer in less than 30 minutes and watch as everyone gobbles them up! Pair these with your favourite ranch dressing or, my personal favourite, a sweet, homemade dipping sauce to balance the spiciness of the jalapenos!
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the dried oregano, basil, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Add the shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and jalapenos to the bowl. Beat until just combined. Don't overbeat - just incorporate! Set aside.
Spread the dough out onto a baking sheet that has been lightly coated with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread the cheese mixture onto the pizza dough.
Bake according to the pizza dough package instructions, or for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes before cutting into sticks. Garnish and serve with ranch dressing or homemade donair sauce!
Notes
This recipe will make enough to prepare two pans of breadsticks in a 9x13 pan. If you prefer, you can double the pan size and prepare just one large pan of breadsticks.
