Baked Jalapeño Poppers

I have finally done it!!! I made jalapeño poppers! It is definitely long overdue for me to make these. I have made so many recipes inspired by the taste of these delicious jalapeños, which you can find here. 

Now these jalapeño poppers are baked and not fried. But that does not mean they do not taste amazing, because they most certainly do. 

Baked Jalapeño Poppers

Ingredients:

• 12 jalapeños, about
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and the white pith.
3. In a medium bowl stir together the cream cheese, sour cream and garlic powder until well combined.
4. In a small shallow bowl combine the melted butter and the bread crumbs.
5. Fill each jalapeño half with some of the filling.
6. Dip the tops of the jalapeños into the bread crumbs and gently push down so the bread crumbs stick.
7. Place the jalapeño poppers on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the bread crumbs are lightly browned.

Enjoy!!!

Notes:
Depending on the size of the jalapeños you may need more or less of them. You may also need more of the bread crumb mixture.
