Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Slice 8 medium jalapeño peppers lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes using a small spoon to reduce heat.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Stuff each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, pressing firmly. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with one slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed.
  4. Step 4: Arrange poppers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crisp and cheese is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving as a spicy, keto-friendly appetizer.
