Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh jalapeños
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the jalapeños, slice them in half lengthwise, and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and membranes (wear gloves for safety if desired).
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, cheddar cheese, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Using a small spoon, carefully fill each jalapeño half with the garlic cream cheese mixture, leveling the top of the filling with the edge of the jalapeño.
Step 6
Arrange the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet, hollow side up. Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the stuffed jalapeños cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
