Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

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

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well blended and creamy.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapeños

    Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture, ensuring they are generously filled.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the jalapeños are tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as an appetizer.
