Baked jalapeno poppers are creamy inside, crunchy outside, and deliciously spicy — but not too spicy that you won’t go back for another!

Ingredients

  • 12 jalapeno peppers ((4-5 inch long peppers))
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese (shredded (See Note 1))
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    Wearing gloves (optional), slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise being sure to keep stem on if possible. Using a small spoon, scoop out the veins and seeds, discard. Place on lined baking sheet cut side up.

  3. 3

    In a bowl mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, combine Panko crumbs, paprika and melted butter. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Carefully fill each jalapeño with the cheese mixture. I take a small scoop and mold it in my hands into a small cigar shape and press it into each jalapeño shell. Divide and sprinkle breadcrumb mixture on top of each popper.

  6. 6

    Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving. I like to also serve with Ranch dressing, but that's optional.
