Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Cheddar, cilantro, salt, pepper and green onions.
- Fill each jalapeno half with a heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture. Wrap the bacon tightly around the jalapenos, overlapping slightly.
- Place the wrapped jalapenos, cheese-side up and spaced 1-inch apart, on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Transfer to the oven and bake until the bacon is crisp, about 25 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right jalapenos: Look for firm, green jalapenos with smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapenos: The capsaicin in jalapenos can irritate your skin, so it's best to wear gloves when you're cutting and seeding them.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos: This will help to reduce the heat level of the poppers.
- Use high-quality bacon: Thick-cut bacon will give your poppers a more satisfying texture.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there's enough space between the poppers so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the poppers until the bacon is crispy and the jalapenos are tender: This will usually take about 20 minutes.
- Serve the poppers hot: They're best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
