Ingredients

Servings
  • 12 jalapeno pepper sliced in half lengthwise
  • 4.5 oz cream cheese light
  • 5 scallion green part only, sliced, medium
  • 2 oz cheddar cheese I used Cabot 50%, shredded, low fat, sharp
  • 1/2 cup egg beaten, egg beaters or egg whites
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/8 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp chili powder
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • Cooking spray oil

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.
