Savory Jalapeño Popper Danish
A while ago, I shared a series of super simple savory danish on both Instagram and TikTok. The idea was that they’re so easy to make they really didn’t require much of a recipe necessarily. So that’s why I just shared them on socials rather than on the blog. Well, the Savory Jalapeño Popper Danish blew up on TikTok a bit. So I thought maybe I should just share a proper recipe on here as well. That way you all can enjoy it but also so that it’ll live on in a more permanent setting. It’s actually inspired from an account that I started following on Instagram based in Florida called Meraki Bakehouse. They do amazing work and you should definitely check them out!
These Savory Jalapeño Popper Danish are always a hit. They taste just like a jalapeño popper so please please please, if you’re a fan of the classic appetizer, then I really do hope you’ll give this one a try. I just know you’re going to love them. Give them a go and let me know what you think! Thanks for reading and following along, my friends.
