Servings: 12 Poppers
Ingredients
- 6 Jalapenos sliced lengthwise
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tbsp Green Onion sliced
- 1 cup Green Onion
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Jalapeños. Start by slicing the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and membranes, depending on how spicy you want the poppers. Rinse and pat dry.
- Make the Filling. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, green onions (if using), salt, and pepper. This will be your cheesy filling for the poppers.
- Stuff the Jalapeños. Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture. Make sure they are evenly filled, but don’t overstuff.
- Coat the Poppers. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Dip each filled jalapeño into the egg, then roll in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Bake to Perfection. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the poppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the jalapeños are tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve. Let the poppers cool slightly before serving. You can garnish them with fresh cilantro or serve with a dipping sauce like ranch or sour cream.
