Jalapenos are stuffed with Cheddar cheese and cream cheese, with bread crumbs for a crunch. Baked to keep them healthier than the fried ones!

Baked Jalapeno Poppers

cooking spray

jalapeno peppers,

cream cheese, softened

Cheddar cheese

panko bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.


Fill each jalapeno pepper half with cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and bread crumbs, respectively, and arrange peppers on the prepared baking sheet.


Bake in the preheated oven until jalapenos are tender and cheese melts, about 20 minutes.


This is now a go-to recipe for entertaining. Tip: if you don't want them to be too hot, make sure the jalapeños you use are smooth. If the skin is wrinkly, they're much hotter (I accidentally learned this the hard way!).

I have made this about three times total. only real changes I have made are that I boil the jalapenos for at most 10min after slicing them in half I cut the stems off of them and I mix two tablespoons of sriracha with 8 ounces of cream cheese. My family loves these.

Even though I removed all the seeds he peppers were a little too hot for our liking....next time I will par boil for a couple of minutes before proceeding with the rest of the recipe....other than that very good.

Love, love, love these! Sonic's cheddar peppers are just about my favorite snack, but I know all the fat and calories aren't good for me. These baked ones are just as good and a lot healthier. And I don't have to drive to Sonic to get them! I use reduced fat cream cheese and fill up the pepper halves with the mixture, about a tablespoon in each pepper half. Then I spray the bread crumbs on top with olive oil to make sure they brown and crunch up. Bake these in my toaster oven about 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Yay, I can have cheddar peppers again!

Made these with my over abundance of jalapeño peppers from my garden. I combined the two cheeses and used Mexican Four Cheese blend then sprinkled Panko crumbs on top. I ran out of time, but next time I'm frying bacon and putting bacon crumbles on top. These were very good.

I made this simple and tasty recipe to use up some leftover jalapenos and Monterey Jack cheese I had on hand. I would have preferred it made with the cheddar cheese but it was still very good.

I've never met a jalapeno popper I didn't like - enough said.

Quite easy to make and very tasty! I have made these several times and they are always a hit. I do par boil the halved and seeded peppers for 2 minutes to remove some of the heat prior to stuffing them. Thank you for this simple and simply good recipe.

I am a true lover of peppers and this was a way to experiment. The main ingredient (peppers) was substituted with Alameda peppers instead of  Jalapenos. Reason: bigger pepper, milder flavor, and you get more stuffing for the serving. :D
