Crispy baked jalapeño poppers filled with creamy cheese, perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes with a spoon.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
  4. Stuff the cheese mixture evenly into each jalapeño half.
  5. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Gently press the stuffed jalapeño halves into the breadcrumb mixture, coating the cheese filling.
  7. Place the coated jalapeño poppers on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Drizzle the olive oil over the poppers.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  10. 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.
