Stuff the Jalapenos
Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, generously filling them.

Prepare the Coating
In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Coat the Jalapenos
Press the panko breadcrumb mixture on top of the cheese-filled jalapenos to create a crust.

Bake
Place the jalapenos on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
