Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 12 pieces Bacon slices
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash the jalapeño peppers thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Slice each jalapeño lengthwise in half and use a small spoon to carefully scoop out the seeds and membranes. For less heat, ensure you remove all seeds and membranes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed across all peppers.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a slice of bacon. If necessary, secure the bacon in place with a toothpick.
Arrange the wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to allow even baking.
Bake the jalapeños in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
Carefully remove the jalapeños from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack and enjoy!
