Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
Step 2
Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds and membranes with a small spoon or knife. Set the prepared jalapeños aside.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 4
Stuff each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, being careful not to overfill.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Step 6
Sprinkle a layer of the buttered breadcrumbs onto the top of each stuffed jalapeño, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 7
Arrange the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up, leaving space between each.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the jalapeños are tender.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
