Ingredients
- 4 lices Bacon
- 12 Jalapeno peppers
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 oz cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Dice the bacon and place it in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp, then remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate.
- Cut each jalapeño in half lengthwise. (You’ll probably want to wear gloves while handling the peppers.) Use a paring knife to remove the seeds and ribs. Place the peppers, cut side up, on a baking sheet.
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and cooked bacon. Stir to combine.
- Fill each pepper half evenly with the cheese mixture.
- In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the peppers.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the peppers are tender, 18-20 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
