Amanda's Oven Baked Jalapeno Poppers

Amanda decided to come up with her own recipe for oven-baked jalapeño poppers today after we picked up a couple dozen jalapeños at the farmer's market this morning.  They were amazing.  The salty chewiness of the parmesan reminded me of bacon-wrapped poppers, but without all the grease!

 

 

 

Amanda’s oven-baked jalapeño poppers

 

10 jalapeño peppers
3 oz cream cheese (brought to room temp)
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt & pepper

Cut jalapeños in half lengthwise, stems left on.  Remove the membrane and seeds (or not, if you like them extra spicy!).

 

Mix cream cheese, dash salt and pepper.  Spread on jalapeños.  Sprinkle parmesan over top, pressing slightly down to hold it on. 

 

Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.  Arrange jalapeños on pan.  If they don’t lay upright, cut a thin slice off the bottom for stability. 

 

Bake 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees.
