Ingredients
Jalapeño Poppers
- 2 Jalapeño peppers halved
- 1 oz Cream cheese softened
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
- 3/4 oz Sharp cheddar shredded
- 1/3 TBSP Fresh chives finely chopped
- 4 TBSP Seasoned Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tsp Butter melted
Bratwurst
- 10 oz Bratwurst Links
- 1 Green bell pepper large slices

Basil Lemonade
- 1 ¼ cups Lemon juice fresh squeezed
- ½ cup Honey or agave syrup

- 3 cups Cold Water
- Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Make the poppers: Wearing gloves, slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the seeds and membranes. In a bowl mix cream cheese, garlic powder, cheddar cheese, and chives. In a separate bowl, combine Panko crumbs and melted butter. Fill jalapeños with the cheese mixture. Top with crumbs.
- Place on a baking pan and bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden. Cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium heat. Grill the bratwursts, getting a nice char on all sides to an internal temperature of 155°F (68°C) using a thermometer. At the same time grill the peppers until charred and softened.
- Warm the baguette in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place lemon juice, honey (or agave), and basil in a blender and blend until very smooth. Pass through a strainer into a pitcher or large jar. Add water and serve over ice, garnished with lemon slices and basil leaves.
- Serve bratwursts with peppers, bread, jalapeno poppers, and basil lemonade.
