Ingredients
- 8 Jalapeno Peppers
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese, room temperature
- 8 ounces Cheddar Cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 4 Slices Bacon, Cooked, and chopped
- ½ cup Cornflake Crumbs
Instructions
- Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon. This step helps reduce the heat level of the poppers.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them until they are slightly overflowing.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon, and cornflake crumbs over the filled jalapenos, pressing lightly to adhere the bacon to the cheese mixture.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the filled jalapeno poppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the jalapenos are tender.
- Once baked, remove the jalapeno poppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these deliciously cheesy and spicy treats as an appetizer or snack!
