Ingredients
- 12 medium jalapeno peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese , shredded
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese , shredded
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- ¼ cup scallions , sliced
- 1-2 teaspoon(s) hot sauce (or to taste)
- ½ cup plain bread crumbs
- ranch dressing , for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prep a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean up.
- Wash the peppers, then carefully slice the peppers down the middle and, with a sharp paring knife, remove the seeds and ribs. (If you want your poppers really spicy you can leave them in). Do not remove the stem.
- Mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, green onions and hot sauce in a small bowl. Spoon the mixture into the pepper halves.
- Place the bread crumbs in a small bowl or plate, then press the cream cheese side of the peppers into the bread crumbs.
- Place the peppers on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 minutes, then turn the oven to broil and broil 2-3 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Watch them carefully during this phase as they will go from lightly browns to black very quickly.
- Serve hot on their own or with ranch dip on the side.
