Fire Roasted Stuffed Jalapeños Recipe

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.

If using, fold in the chopped cilantro into the cheese mixture.

Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, packing it in well.

Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
