Ingredients
- 12 jalapeno peppers (sliced in half lengthwise)
- 4.5 oz light cream cheese
- 5 medium scallions (green part only, sliced)
- 2 oz shredded low fat sharp cheddar (I used Cabot 50%)
- 1/2 cup egg beaters or egg whites (beaten)
- 1/2 cup panko crumbs*
- 1/8 tsp paprika
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp chili powder
- salt and fresh pepper
- spray oil
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 350F.
-
Wearing rubber gloves, cut peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and membrane.
-
Combine cream cheese, cheddar and scallions in a medium bowl.
-
Combine panko, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in another bowl.
-
Fill peppers with cheese filling with a small spoon or spatula.
-
Dip peppers in egg beaters.
-
Place pepper in panko mixture, using a spoon to make sure all the seasoning doesn't fall to the bottom of the bowl.
-
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.
-
Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until golden and cheese oozes out. 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.
