Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash the jalapeno peppers thoroughly and slice them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully remove the seeds and membranes while leaving the stems intact for structure.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each jalapeno half generously with the cheese mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs with olive oil until the crumbs are slightly moistened. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the stuffed jalapenos.
Place the filled jalapenos cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Carefully remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your zesty Laughing Dawg Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers as a crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack!
