Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh jalapenos
- 227 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 120 grams Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the jalapenos and dry thoroughly. Use a small knife to slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes to reduce heat (use gloves if desired).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them generously.
Arrange the stuffed jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the jalapenos are tender but still hold their shape.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy as a flavorful appetizer or snack!
