Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 6 oz bacon cooked
- 4 oz cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp chives chopped
- 10 jalapeño peppers seeded* and halved lengthwise
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Add the cream cheese, bacon, cheddar, onion powder, garlic, and chives to a mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything together until well combined.
- Arrange the halved jalapeños on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Spoon the cheese filling into each half. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the filling begins to brown on top.
Notes
*How to seed a jalapeño pepper:
- If you have latex/neo/nitrile/poly gloves, put them on! This is extra protection to make sure you don't burn yourself with residual pepper left on your hands and under your nails.
- Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise. Use a sharp paring knife to slice the membranes away from the inside edge of the peppers.
- Turn the pepper over and give it a few taps to get out any lingering seeds.
