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.
In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, shredded cheese, cilantro, and cumin. Stuff each pepper with cream cheese mixture.
Mix bread crumbs and parmesan cheese together. Top each pepper with a small scoop of this mixture.
Bake for 20 - 22 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and crumbs are light brown. They are delicious!
Honestly, the best part about these is the light crumb topping!
- Prepare jalapenos the day before and store in the refrigerator until ready to make
- Use pre-shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Save time chopping cilantro by using dried cilantro

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!
