Jalapeno Poppers Recipe

Jalapeno Poppers Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Jalapenos

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.

2. 2

   Make the Filling

   In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, crumbled bacon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. 3

   Stuff the Jalapenos

   Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture, packing it in tightly.

4. 4

   Prepare for Baking

   In another bowl, combine bread crumbs and olive oil, mixing well. This will create a crispy topping for the poppers.

5. 5

   Coat the Stuffed Jalapenos

   Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the stuffed jalapenos, ensuring they are well-coated.

6. 6

   Bake the Poppers

   Place the stuffed and coated jalapenos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapenos are tender and the topping is golden brown.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm as an appetizer.
