- 6 large jalapeño peppers
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes with a spoon.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
- Stuff the cheese mixture evenly into each jalapeño half.
- In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Gently press the stuffed jalapeño halves into the breadcrumb mixture, coating the cheese filling.
- Place the coated jalapeño poppers on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the poppers.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier popper, leave some seeds in the jalapeños.
- You can substitute other cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
