cooking information
- Yield: 24
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cooking Time: 15 minutes
all ingredients
- 12 Whole, Fresh Jalapeno Peppers
- 2 Cup Cream Cheese
- 2 Dried Italian Seasonings Packets
- 2 Cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Box Panko Breadcrumbs
recipe instruction
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a medium-sized bowl mix the cream cheese, dried Italian seasonings packets and sharp shredded cheddar cheese (for this step I like to use my spatula, but you can also use beaters).
3. To prep the jalapeños peppers: First, cut the stem portion of the jalapeño peppers off. Next, slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise. The seeds and membranes make the jalapeño pepper amazingly spicy. To remove them, hold your knife horizontally and cut right across the pepper. Be careful not to touch your eyes or anywhere around your face after handling jalapeno peppers!
4. With a spoon, stuff each jalapeno pepper until the cheese mixture is gone. It will be approximately 1 tablespoon per pepper.
5. Empty your breadcrumbs into a small bowl. Place each pepper, one at a time, into the breadcrumbs and press to allow the breadcrumbs to stick.
6. Assemble the jalapeno poppers on a baking sheet and cook for 15-25 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the pepper has wrinkled.
cooking tips
- Panko Breadcrumbs are just larger crumbs of bread crumbs.
- You can use red jalepenos if you prefer a little less spice. Mixing up the red jalepenos with green makes for a nice presentation.
- Keep these stuffed jalapeno poppers on hand for unexpected guests!
