These savory jalapeño poppers are a great plant-based party or game day appetizer. Diced mushrooms add a "meaty" addition with the absence of bacon, and vegan cheese substitutes keep this appetizer vegan.
Ingredients
- 12 medium jalapeno peppers , sliced in half and seeded
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 package button mushrooms , 8 ounce
- 0.5 cups finely diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 tub vegan cream cheese substitute , 8 ounce
- 1 cup vegan shredded cheese substitute , divided
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Set jalapeño halves on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, open side up.
-
2
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the skillet and saute until vegetables are tender and mushrooms have released their liquid, about 8 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up the excess moisture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Sarah's Italian Meringue Buttercream
This is sort of a finicky frosting, but so good. Once you master this type of buttercream, you will never go back to the overly sweet powdered sugar type icing. It's light and fluffy and just the right sweetness. It's the type of frosting found in most high-end gourmet pastry shops. You will need a candy thermometer for this recipe. Makes enough to generously frost a two-layer 9-inch round cake.
