Jalapeno Poppers
Oven baked and absolutely delicious! Fresh spicy jalapeno peppers are stuffed with a rich cheese filling and finished with crispy seasoned panko and flavorful bacon. After one taste I think you'll agree that this is the best way to make them!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2
Wearing food grade gloves remove seeds and ribs from jalapeños. You can do this by hand (fastest method) - just using your thumb to scrape it out. Or you can do this with a pairing knife (just be careful not to cut through peppers bottom side).
3
Transfer peppers cut side up to an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet.
4
In a medium mixing bowl add cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, 2/3 of the bacon (4 slices), 2 1/2 Tbsp green onions, cilantro, garlic, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir with a spoon until well combined.
