Ingredients
  

  • 6 fresh jalapenos
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs plain or seasoned
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
  3. In a bowl, mix shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese until well combined; season with salt and pepper.
  4. Generously fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture.
