In the case of the jalapenos, I'm afraid the boil would leech out the oils that give the jalapenos their distinctive flavor. That flavor is what it's all about, for me anyway.

Hey, it's nice to talk with you about something that isn't fraught with land-mines and tension such as guns or whatever.

In the future, I may try the half-split lengthwise with a piece of bacon laid on top during the bake. That sounds even better on the grill actually.

Have a Wonderful Evening.

Sounds really good. I've had some w/ cream cheese, sliced shrimp, salt, pepper, lime, cilantro. pinto Nov 2013 #4

The ones I've had were usually browned a bit before slicing and filling. pinto Nov 2013 #6
