Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Wearing rubber gloves, cut peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and membrane.
  3. Combine cream cheese, cheddar and scallions in a medium bowl.
  4. Combine panko, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in another bowl.
  5. Fill peppers with cheese filling with a small spoon or spatula.
  6. Dip peppers in egg beaters.
  7. Place pepper in panko mixture, using a spoon to make sure all the seasoning doesn't fall to the bottom of the bowl.
  8. Spray a baking pan with oil spray. (I lined my pan with parchment for easier cleanup)
  9. Lightly spray the peppers with a little more oil spray.
  10. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until golden and cheese oozes out. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Serve hot.
  11. *I used 1/4 cup more panko to make it easier to coat, then I was left with 1/4 cup which was tossed and not calculated in the nutritional info.
