Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. This will help reduce the heat and create a hollow space for the filling.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and smooth.

  3. 3

    Fill the Jalapeños

    Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, ensuring it is generously filled.

Breading and Baking

  1. 4

    Prepare the Breading

    Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Drizzle olive oil over the breadcrumbs and mix to coat them evenly.

  2. 5

    Coat the Poppers

    Dip each filled jalapeño half into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated on the outside.

  3. 6

    Bake the Poppers

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the coated jalapeño poppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
