Crispy Cheese Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers

1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2Cut the jalapeño peppers (6 large) in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.

3In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese (1 cup), cheddar cheese, garlic powder (½ teaspoon), paprika (½ teaspoon), onion powder (½ teaspoon), oregano, basil, parsley, black pepper (½ teaspoon), cayenne pepper (½ teaspoon), and chili powder (½ teaspoon). Mix well until smooth.

4Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture.

5In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs (2) in another, and breadcrumbs (½ cup) in the third.

7Place the coated jalapeño poppers on the prepared baking sheet.

8Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the jalapeños are tender and the coating is crispy and golden brown.

9Serve the crispy cheese stuffed jalapeño poppers hot and enjoy!
