Notes

1. Jalapeños – Spicy when raw, not very spicy at all when cooked! If you want spiciness, leave some of the seeds in.

2. Bacon – It will cook in its own fat which melts as the pan heats up. But if your bacon is not fatty, you’ll need to add a bit of oil.

3. Panko breadcrumbs – A Japanese breadcrumb favoured for the extra-crispy coating it gives because the pieces are bigger than regular breadcrumbs. Find it in the Asian aisle at large regular grocery stores, or Asian stores. Substitute with regular breadcrumbs, but they’re not as crunchy.

Leftovers will keep for 4 days in the fridge, or freezer 3 months.Assemble ahead then bake on demand – they will keep for 24 hours in the fridge (toasting the panko really helps here).
