Ingredients
Scale
- 8 jalapeno peppers
- 1 habanero pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1–1/2 cups shredded cheddar and jack cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Slice off the top third of each of your jalapenos, lengthwise, then scoop out the seeds and ribs to make a boat. Line up the jalapeno boats on your baking sheet. Dice up the remaining strips of jalapeno and add them to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the habanero, green onions, garlic, cream cheese, cumin, shredded cheese, and salt and pepper to your bowl. Combine all these ingredients. I used my stand mixer, but if you want a good arm workout, you could mix it all by hand.
- Use a small offset spatula or a butter knife to fill your jalapeno boats. Make sure to press it all the way into the crevice for maximum cheese potential.
- Put your breadcrumbs and parmesan on a small plate and mix gently. Carefully press the cheesy side of each jalapeno boat into the bread crumbs for a crunchy crust.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until they reach the perfectly level of gooey toastiness.
- Hold off for about 10 minutes then go at it with plenty of fat or alcohol by your side.
Notes
- You’ll have lots of filling left over. May I suggest smashing that onto a toasted bagel and topping that whole situation with a fried egg? What could go wrong?
