Ingredients
- 12 Medium size jalapeno peppers
- 8 ounces (1 Cup) cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbsp ranch seasoning mix
- ¼ cup sliced green onion
- 1-2 tsp hot sauce or to taste
- ½ cup fine breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Wash the peppers, then carefully slice the peppers down the middle and, with a sharp paring knife, remove the seeds and ribs. (If you want your poppers really spicy you can leave them in). Do not remove the stem.
- Mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, green onions and hot sauce in a small bowl. Spoon the mixture into the pepper halves.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a small bowl or plate, then press the cream cheese side of the peppers into the breadcrumbs.
- Place the peppers on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Bake for 12 minutes, then turn the oven to broil and broil 2-3 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Watch them carefully during this phase as they will go from lightly browns to black very quickly.
- Serve hot on their own or with ranch dip on the side.
