Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large jalapeño peppers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Black edible marker or small black olives for mummy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Wear gloves to avoid irritation.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Stuff each jalapeño half generously with the cream cheese mixture.
- Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each stuffed jalapeño half first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko breadcrumbs.
- Place the coated jalapeño poppers on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the poppers are golden brown and the jalapeños are tender.
- Once cooled slightly, use a black edible marker or small pieces of black olive to draw mummy eyes on the cream cheese.
- Serve warm and enjoy the spooky heat!
Notes
- For extra spicy poppers, leave some seeds in the jalapeños.
- If you don’t have bacon, you can omit it or substitute with other cooked, chopped meats.
- Ensure the cream cheese is well-softened for easy mixing and stuffing.
- Panko breadcrumbs give a crispier coating than regular breadcrumbs.
