Ingredients
Scale
12 medium-sized jalapeño peppers
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional for extra flavor)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (for topping)
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wearing gloves, slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and membranes gently using a small spoon.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, generously fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of each stuffed jalapeño.
Place the filled jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender, and the tops are lightly golden.
