Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 fresh jalapenos
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Jalapenos: Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds and membranes to reduce heat while keeping that fresh jalapeno flavor intact. Wearing gloves is highly recommended.
  2. Make the Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy to create a luscious filling.
  3. Fill the Jalapeno Halves: Spoon or pipe the cheese mixture generously into each jalapeno half, making sure they are evenly stuffed for balanced flavor in every bite.
  4. Add Bacon Topping: Sprinkle crispy bacon bits on top of each stuffed jalapeno to introduce a savory crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy center.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the jalapeno bites on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the bacon is crisp.

Notes

  • Use fresh jalapenos for best texture and flavor.
  • Let cream cheese soften for a smoother filling.
  • Don’t overstuff to prevent cheese from spilling over during baking.
  • Keep an eye on baking time to ensure bacon crisps without burning the cheese.
  • Adjust heat level by removing more or fewer seeds as preferred.
