There are many recipes for Jalapeno Poppers. These are not breaded and this recipe does not require any eggs. There is also no frying of any kind as these are baked. Remember, I like to keep things simple here on the island. I hope you enjoy them!

The process is really quite easy and the full recipe is below. Don't forget to check out my time-saving tips for this recipe below. We know how to save time and want to help you when you need it.

Baked Jalapeno Poppers

 

  •  
 
For the poppers, you will want to preheat the oven to 350°.  Using rubber gloves, clean and seed jalapenos. Seriously, use gloves and open a window because these little buggers can be really hot.
 
Place cleaned out pepper halves on cookie sheet.  You can remove gloves, but wash hands before and after handling peppers.

Preparing-Jalapenos-For-Stuffing

 

In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, shredded cheese, cilantro, and cumin. Stuff each pepper with cream cheese mixture.

    YUM! My husband's favorite. Again, I'd have to leave out cilantro because of the three cilantro haters in the family!! However, cheese and peppers? Fantastic. And I do love using cumin.

    I have a bunch of Rachael Ray items in Orange but my absolute favorites are the Oil and Vinegar pourers. I have vegetable oil in the larger one and olive oil in the smaller. It is SOOOOOO much easier to control the amount of oil I use and they are so doggone cute on the counter!

    I'm a Broncos fan...even after such a loss. We had jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon, I think I add a dozen of them. This recipe looks easy and yummy. Can't wait to try it!

    These look amazing! I wish I had seen them before the Superbowl. But I have them pinned. I always struggle with poppers because I find it hard to stuff them...halved is perfect!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
