Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 jalapeño peppers (sliced in half lengthwise)
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 4 medium scallions (green part only, sliced)
  • 2 oz shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh pepper
  • spray oil

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Wearing rubber gloves, cut peppers in half lengthwise
  • and scoop out the seeds and membrane.
  • Combine cream cheese, cheddar and scallions in a medium bowl.
  • Combine panko bread crumbs, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in another bowl.
  • Fill peppers with cheese filling with a small spoon or spatula.
  • Dip peppers with cheese mixture in egg mixture( 1 egg + ¼ cup water slightly beaten)
  • Place pepper in panko mixture, using a spoon to make sure all the seasoning doesn't fall to the bottom of the bowl.
  • Spray a baking pan with oil spray. I lined my pan with nonstick aluminum foil for easier cleanup. Lightly spray the peppers with a little more oil spray.
  • Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, until golden and cheese oozes out.
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately. Serve hot.
