Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh jalapeños
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the jalapeños, slice them in half lengthwise, and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and membranes (wear gloves for safety if desired).
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, cheddar cheese, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Using a small spoon, carefully fill each jalapeño half with the garlic cream cheese mixture, leveling the top of the filling with the edge of the jalapeño.
Arrange the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet, hollow side up. Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the stuffed jalapeños cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
