8ouncescream cheesesoftened
4ouncespepper jack cheeseshredded
½teaspoongarlic powder
¼teaspoononion powder
¼teaspoonfine sea salt
12slicesthin bacon
Instructions
Line 2 large baking sheets with non-stick aluminum foil and preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
Cut the bacon pieces in half and lay them on the lined baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes. The bacon should not be cooked all the way. Remove the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate and set aside.
Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the seeds and membranes and discard. Discard or replace the aluminum foil on the baking sheets and place the jalapeno halves in a single layer on your baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Stir well.
Spread the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeño half. Wrap with a piece of bacon around the middle of each jalapeno half and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Increase the oven temperature to 400° Fahrenheit and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the cheese mixture becomes warm and bubbly and the bacon is cooked through.
