Are you looking for a snack that’s both delicious and a bit fancy? These Prosciutto Wrapped Brie Poppers are just the thing. They mix the slight heat from jalapeños with the smooth taste of Brie cheese and a bit of sweetness from wild blueberry preserves. Wrapping them in prosciutto adds a nice, crispy outside. This snack is a great mix of different tastes and textures that work really well together.

We use cherry wood in the smoker for these poppers because it gives them a light, fruity smoke flavor that goes really well with the cheese and preserves. Smoking them makes the jalapeños soft and adds a unique smoky taste you can’t get from just baking or grilling. To make them even tastier, we spray them with avocado oil and sprinkle them with your favorite BBQ rub before they go into the smoker. This step makes sure every bite is full of flavor.

Drizzling hot honey on top of the poppers right when they come out of the smoker is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a sweet and spicy kick that ties all the flavors together. This recipe is special not just because of what goes into it, but also how it’s made. Smoking these poppers makes them a dish that will stand out and impress anyone who tries them.

Ingredients:

6-8 Jalapeño Peppers, halved and seeded
Brie Cheese, cut into strips to fit jalapeño halves
Wild Blueberry Preserves
Prosciutto slices, enough to wrap each jalapeño popper
Avocado oil spray
Your favorite BBQ rub
Hot honey for topping

Instructions:

Start by preparing the jalapeños: halve them and remove the seeds, setting them aside for assembly. Next, cut a block of Brie cheese into strips that will snugly fit inside a jalapeño half.

Take one half of the jalapeño and fill it with a piece of Brie cheese. In the other half, spoon in some wild blueberry preserves. Gently press the two halves together to form a complete popper. Wrap each jalapeño popper with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring it’s fully covered.

Before cooking, lightly spray the wrapped poppers with avocado oil. This helps to crisp the prosciutto while smoking and prevents sticking. Season them evenly with your chosen BBQ rub for an added flavor kick.

Preheat your smoker to 275°F, using cherry wood to impart a subtle, fruity smoke flavor that enhances the overall taste of the poppers. Place the prepared poppers on the smoker and let them cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crisp and the jalapeños are tender.

Once done, remove the poppers from the smoker and immediately drizzle them with hot honey, adding a final layer of sweet heat that perfectly complements the smoky, savory flavors. Serve the poppers warm, inviting your guests to enjoy a burst of complex flavors with each bite.
