Ingredients: 12 jalapeno pepper 4 1/2 Ounce(s) light cream cheese 5 sliced green part only Scallions 2 Ounce(s) low fat cheddar cheese 1/2 Cup(s) beaters egg 1/2 Cup(s) panko bread crumbs 1/8 Teaspoon(s) paprika 1/8 Teaspoon(s) garlic powder 1/8 Teaspoon(s) chili powder 1 to taste and pepper salt 1 cooking spray |
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350°. Wearing rubber gloves, cut peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and membrane.
2)Combine cream cheese, cheddar and scallions in a medium bowl.
3)Combine panko, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in another bowl.
4)Fill peppers with cheese filling with a small spoon or spatula.
5)Dip peppers in egg beaters.
6)Place pepper in panko mixture, using a spoon to make sure all the seasoning doesn't fall to the bottom of the bowl.
7)Spray a baking pan with oil spray. I lined my pan with parchment for easier cleanup. Lightly spray the peppers with a little more oil spray.
8)Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until golden and cheese oozes out.
9)Remove from oven and serve immediately. Serve hot.
*I used 1/4 cup more panko to make it easier to coat, then I was left with 1/4 cup which was tossed and not calculated in the nutritional info. |
