Jalapeño Popper Pizza: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4–6 fresh jalapeños, sliced (adjust for spice preference)
- ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- If using a store-bought crust, roll it out onto a pizza stone or baking sheet, following the package instructions. If using homemade dough, stretch it out into a round shape.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese generously over the cream cheese layer.
- Arrange the sliced jalapeños and crumbled bacon evenly on top of the cheese layer.
- Lightly drizzle olive oil over the toppings for added flavor and moisture.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving.
