Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Carefully cut each jalapeño in half through the stem then scrape out any seeds and membrane.
step 2
Cut the brie into small pieces that will fit snugly inside each jalapeño (but don’t overstuff otherwise they will bust out) and push into the cavity.
step 3
Put a slice of pancetta on a board and use the back of a knife to drag and stretch out a bit more, then cut into two. Wrap each pepper half in a piece of pancetta.
step 4
Line up the jalapeños on a baking tray then bake for 15 mins until the bacon is crisp and the peppers tender. Leave to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
