Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh jalapenos
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Cut each jalapeno in half lengthwise and use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds and membranes. Be cautious when handling jalapenos, and consider wearing gloves to avoid irritation.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each halved jalapeno with the cheese mixture until it is level with the edges.
Step 5
Place the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the jalapenos are slightly tender and the cheese filling is warm and lightly golden on top.
Step 7
Allow the stuffed jalapenos to cool for 5 minutes before serving. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
Step 8
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy!
