How To Make oven baked jalapeÑo poppers

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat; set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder and chives. Stir until nicely blended.
  • Step 3
    Evenly stuff the jalapeño peppers with the cream cheese mixture; sprinkle a little more cheddar cheese over top.
  • Step 4
    In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Top off the peppers with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to adhere.
  • Step 5

  • Step 6
    Remove from the heat and let the stuffed peppers sit for 10 minutes before serving.
