Ingredients
- 8 large jalapeño peppers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each jalapeño in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes with a small spoon (wear gloves to avoid irritation).
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, mounding slightly.
- In a small bowl, combine panko and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the filled peppers.
- Place poppers on prepared baking sheet. Bake 18-20 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
- For less heat, use only the jalapeño tops or remove all seeds and membranes.
- Serve with ranch or sour cream dip.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.
