Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh jalapeños
- 2 large Avocados
- 120 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 120 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 60 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or knife. Set the hollowed jalapeño halves aside.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the avocados until smooth. Mix in the softened cream cheese, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well-combined and creamy.
Step 4
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese to the avocado mixture, mixing gently but thoroughly.
Step 5
Spoon the avocado mixture into each jalapeño half, filling them generously. Be careful not to overfill, as the filling may expand slightly when cooked.
Step 6
In a small bowl, toss the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the stuffed jalapeños to form a crispy topping.
Step 7
Carefully arrange the jalapeño poppers on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out slightly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the poppers cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, zesty, and slightly spicy treat!
