Gotta love the sweet savory goodness of a bacon wrapped fig. Well, this takes it in another direction, adding a little creamy spiciness of a jalapeño popper. Sweet savory and a little spicy - you really can’t go wrong with a Pig Newton

Pig Newtons

fig Newton topped with cream cheese, jalapeño and wrapped with bacon.
Course: Appetizer, party, Snack, tailgate
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Bacon, big green egg, Cookie, fig newton, jalapeno

Equipment

  • Big Green Egg

Ingredients

  • 1 pack fig newtons
  • 1.5 lb bacon
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 6 whole jalapenos
  • 1 tbsp bbq rub

Instructions

  • Core jalapeños and cut into either diagonal rings or ½” thick strips
  • Add a schmear of cream cheese to the top of each fig newton
  • Place slice of jalapeño on cream cheese
  • Wrap each Newton with a ½ slice of bacon. I found that it works best to have the figgy side of the Newton facing out. Helps preserve the structural integrity of the Newton.
  • place wrapped Newtons on greased grill grate. I like to use either a greased metal mesh grate on top of a regular grate or a silicone mesh grate to make removal of the cookies easier.
  • Cook at 350F indirect for approximately 30 minutes, until the bacon looks good (dark/crisp)
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Another eggfest all star born from a hungry trip to the grocery store.  They were out of nutter butters, so I thought about what else would taste good wrapped in bacon.
