Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds and membranes with a small spoon or knife. Set the prepared jalapeños aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Stuff each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, being careful not to overfill.
In a small bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle a layer of the buttered breadcrumbs onto the top of each stuffed jalapeño, pressing lightly to adhere.
Arrange the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up, leaving space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the jalapeños are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
Serve warm and enjoy your Baked Texas Jalapeño Peppers!
