Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, bacon bits, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapeños

    Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, pressing down to ensure it's packed in.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the jalapeños are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm.
