Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 12 halved jalapeños cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp chopped chives, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Divide cream cheese mixture evenly among jalapeño halves, filling to the top. Secure each stuffed jalapeño with 1 bacon strip wrapped around the top, overlapping slightly to hold in place.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 15-18 minutes until bacon is crisp and golden, then let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
