Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh jalapenos
- 227 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 120 grams Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash the jalapenos and dry thoroughly. Use a small knife to slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes to reduce heat (use gloves if desired).
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them generously.
Step 5
Arrange the stuffed jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the jalapenos are tender but still hold their shape.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy as a flavorful appetizer or snack!
