Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Then, slice jalapeños lengthwise and scoop out seeds/ribs.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, crumbled bacon (reserve a bit to garnish the top of the poppers), about half of the shredded cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chives.
- On a baking pan lined with parchment, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture. Then, evenly sprinkle each jalapeño half with the remaining shredded cheese (press lightly so they stick).
- In another bowl, mix panko and melted butter until well combined. Then, evenly top each jalapeño popper with panko and press lightly so they stick.
- Bake for about 15-18 min until tender (but not soggy and overcooked). Then, broil 1–2 min for additional color.
- Transfer the jalapeño poppers to a tray and garnish with additional bacon and chives. Serve hot and enjoy!
