    You're going to love these jalapeno poppers, the flavors are classic and the panko breadcrumbs give them the perfect amount of crunch. They are always a huge hit at game day parties like my Bacon Jalapeño Popper Wonton Cups.

    Yes, You can assemble these jalapeno poppers and place them covered in the refrigerator. Right before baking add the buttered bread crumbs on top

    How hot are jalapenos?

    Jalapeno pepper is labeled as a medium-hot pepper. There are a few things to look at when choosing jalapeno peppers.

    • The brown scars on a jalapeno, indicate that it will be on the hotter side.
    • Generally the larger the pepper the milder it will be.
    Four process photos. First one, all the cheese ingredients in a small clear bowl ready to be mixed. Second one, a spoon scooping out the seeds of a jalapeno. Third one, all the seeded jalapenos placed on a baking sheet. Fourth one, cheese filed jalapeno with panko bread crumbs sprinkled on top.

    Tips for making Jalapeno Poppers.

    • Wear gloves when cutting jalapenos, to prevent the oils from the pepper from getting on your skin.
    • I try and grab jalapenos that are about 3-4 inches long. But they come in all different sizes so you may get more or less than the recipe states.
    • Don’t use pre-shredded cheese. Prepackaged cheese is coated with cellulose to prevent the cheese from sticking. But it makes it not melt as well.
    • You can use whatever kind of cheese you like really, I use a combination of pepper jack and cheddar.
    • If you prefer a milder pepper, you can use mini sweet peppers instead.
    • If you want to make them spicier, leave the seeds in or add some seeds to the cream cheese filling.
    • Don't overbake the poppers or else the cheese will just start to run out.
