Jalapeno Preparation

Method

Stuffing and Baking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapenos

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, bacon bits, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapenos

    Using a spoon, fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapenos are tender and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your spicy jalapenos!
