Jalapeno Poppers

Ingredients :

12 jalapenos

8 oz cream cheese room temp

1 garlic clove minced

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground black pepper

3 Tbsp green onion chopped

1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese

8 oz bacon cooked and chopped

1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions :

Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Halve the jalapenos lengthwise. Remove and discard the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos.

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, green onion, shredded cheese, and cooked bacon for the filling.

Fill the jalapeno halves with the mixture. Placed stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet and bake at 400˚F for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese melts golden in color.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the poppers and serve.
