For the Jalapeno Munchers

Method

Preparation of Jalapeno Munchers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapenos

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon to reduce the heat.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

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

  3. 3

    Fill the Jalapenos

    Using a spoon, generously fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture, packing it in well.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    In a shallow dish, beat the egg. In another shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs. Dip each filled jalapeno half first into the egg, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Bake the Munchers

    Place the coated jalapenos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Jalapeno Munchers warm!
