Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
 
 

Jalapeno Poppers

  • 12 fresh jalapeños
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 slices crispy bacon crumbled
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.25 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp pepper
  • 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Wash the jalapeños thoroughly. Slice each jalapeño lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes carefully to reduce the heat level.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Gently fold in the crumbled bacon pieces.
  • Spoon the cheese mixture into each halved jalapeño, ensuring they are generously filled.
  • In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the breadcrumbs are lightly coated.
  • Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the top of each stuffed jalapeño half.
  • Arrange the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the topping is golden and crispy.
  • Allow the jalapeño poppers to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Arrange them on a platter and serve warm as a delectable appetizer.

Special Tip

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the halved and cleaned jalapeños in a mixture of lime juice and a pinch of salt for about 15 minutes before stuffing them. This will add a subtle tanginess that complements the spicy and creamy filling beautifully.
