In a small bowl mix the softened cream cheese with the diced pickled jalapeños and the shredded havarti cheese. Mix until well combined then set aside. Cut the bacon slices in half then lay them in a t shape using a mini muffin pan or baking pan.  Place 1 Tbsp of the jalapeno cream cheese mixture onto the centre of the t’s.

Tightly wrap the edges of the bacon over the cream cheese, then use a tooth pick to secure it. If using a mini muffin pan – Bake for 5 – 7 minutes – then transfer to a baking pan and bake for another 20 -25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. ( The mini muffin pan is help keep their shape but this step can be skipped) Drain off the fat a few times throughout baking. If you’re using a baking pan bake for 25 -30 minutes, turning them a few times throughout, also pour off the grease when turning.

JALAPENO BACON BOMBS

To make these Jalapeno Bacon Bombs I used Pickled Jalapenos. I used them because I prefer the taste and texture. You could use fresh Jalapeños instead. I would roast them in the oven a little before adding them to the cream cheese. Also you could use Mozzarella Cheese instead of Havarti if you’d like to. I used a mini muffin pan to help them keep they’re shape. I only used the muffin pan for the first 5 minutes or so of baking so that the would hold they’re shape a bit better. I then moved the bacon bombs to a baking pan to finish baking. This just made it a bit easier to pour off the grease. You could easily skip this step and bake them in a baking pan from the beginning, if you prefer too.

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis. While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.
