    I want to teach you how to make jalapeno poppers because they are such an easy appetizer for pot lucks or holiday dinners. Filled with a creamy, cheesy filling and a kick of spice!

    2 servings

    1. Preheat the oven to 400F and prepare two baking trays with parchment paper. 

    2. Cut the jalapeño peppers in half length-wise. Remove the centers and seeds with a spoon. Set the jalapenos spaced out and the cavities facing up on the baking trays.

    3. Prepare the filling by combining softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chives, and spices in a medium-sized bowl. Mix until combined.

    4. Evenly distribute the filling into the jalapeno cavities, this should be approximately 1-2 tbsp worth.

    5. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs.

    6. One by one, flip upside-down and press the top of each jalapeño popper into the bread crumbs.

    7. Bake for 18 - 22 minutes until golden.

    8. Serve immediately with fresh chives.
