Course Appetizers
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 10-12 cleaned dove breasts
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1-2 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 package bacon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Remove the breasts from the bone, and divide each breast into 2 lobes, yielding 20-24 lobes.
  • Sprinkle the dove lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the jalapeno peppers into rings so you have one for each dove breast, and remove the seeds.
  • Cut the bacon slices in half.
  • To assemble, fill each dove breast with a teaspoon or so of cream cheese and a jalapeno slice. Fold the dove over the filling, then wrap it in the bacon slice. Secure the assembled dove wrap with a toothpick.
  • Grill over a medium high grill for 3-5 minutes, turn, and continue grilling for another 3-5 minutes until the bacon is crisp.
