• 6 medium Jalapeno (sliced lengthwise and seeded)
• 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 3 oz Plain cream cheese (softened)
• 1/4 cup Green onions (chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (crushed or minced)
• 1 tbsp Fresh cilantro (minced)
• 1/4 cup Bacon bits (pre-cooked)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. In a small bowl, stir/mash together the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, cilantro, and garlic. (You can heat a bit if the cream cheese is too hard.) Fill the jalapeno halves with the mixture. Place onto the lined baking sheet.
3. Top each jalapeno popper with about a teaspoon of bacon bits, pressing lightly into the cream cheese filling.
4. Bake about 15 minutes, until the peppers are soft and the bacon on top is crispy.
