Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly spray the surface with cooking spray.
Slice each jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon. Set the hollowed-out halves aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture. Be generous but avoid overfilling.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over each stuffed jalapeño.
Place the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
