Ingredients
  

1 package of store-bought flatbread or naan

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup crispy cooked bacon, crumbled

2-3 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced (seeds removed for milder flavor)

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for brushing

Optional garnish: fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Make the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and crumbled bacon. Use a spatula or fork to mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended. Season this mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

      Arrange the Flatbreads: Take the flatbreads and lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. For a crisper texture and added flavor, lightly brush the top of each flatbread with olive oil.

        Spread the Cheese Mixture: Using a spatula, evenly spread the creamy cheese mixture over each flatbread, making sure to leave a small border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking.

          Top with Jalapeños and Green Onions: Evenly distribute the thin jalapeño slices across the cheese layer, followed by a sprinkle of the chopped green onions for a burst of freshness and flavor.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly caramelized.

              Finish with Garnish: After baking, carefully remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro on top for a vibrant garnish before cutting into mini pieces.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Mini Jalapeño Popper Flatbreads warm, perfect as appetizers or a delightful snack. Dig in and enjoy the flavorful experience!
