Ingredients
- 12 large green jalapenos
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 green onions
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Chop the green onion in slices and sauté the white part in olive oil over medium heat. Once translucent, add the green part. Stir for one minute until tender.
- Remove the onion from heat. Add cream cheese, parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder and salt. Mix all the ingredients to get a smooth paste.
- Chop each jalapenos in halves, remove their veins and seeds but not their stalks.
- Fill the jalapenos with the cream cheese mixture and top them with a small amount of shredded mozzarella.
- Place the jalapenos in a high-rimmed baking tray and cover with foil. Bake for 12 minutes or until jalapenos are fork-tender, then remove foil and bake for 2 more minutes for the mozzarella to gratin.
- Serve warm with some ranch sauce, blue cheese dressing or chipotle mayo.
Notes
- Store left-overs in the fridge for up to five days. Re-heat in the microwave or in the oven.
- Add some panko on top of the jalapenos for a crunchy bite.
