Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh jalapenos
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 12 pieces Bacon slices
- 12 pieces Toothpicks (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash the jalapenos and slice them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and membranes. Be careful when handling jalapenos—avoid touching your eyes, and consider wearing gloves.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 4
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture. Do not overfill, as the cheese can melt and overflow during baking.
Step 5
Wrap each stuffed jalapeno half with a slice of bacon. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary.
Step 6
Arrange the bacon-wrapped jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, to help prevent the bacon from unraveling.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapenos are tender.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
