Can I make these Blueberry Brie Jalapeño Poppers ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the poppers completely and store them covered in the refrigerator for several hours before baking. When ready to serve, bake as directed, adding 2 to 3 extra minutes since they will be starting from cold.

How spicy are these jalapeño poppers?

Removing the seeds makes them significantly milder and accessible for most guests. Leaving some seeds in increases the heat noticeably. The brie and blueberry preserves both help balance the spice with creaminess and sweetness.

Can I use another cheese instead of brie?

Yes. Goat cheese provides a tangier, slightly firmer filling that also melts beautifully. Cream cheese is another excellent option for a more neutral and ultra-creamy result.

Can I air fry these Blueberry Brie Jalapeño Poppers instead of baking?

Yes. Air fry at 375°F for about 8 to 10 minutes, checking at the 8-minute mark to ensure the brie is melted and the jalapeños are tender without being overcooked.
