Jalapeno Poppers Ingredients

Method

Jalapeno Poppers Directions

  1. 1

    Preparation of Jalapenos

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mixing the Filling

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

  3. 3

    Filling the Jalapenos

    Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture. Make sure to pack it in well.

  4. 4

    Baking the Poppers

    Place the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the poppers. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the jalapenos are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious jalapeno poppers!
