  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar Or whatever cheese is available
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • In a bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  • Fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture.

  • Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Baking

Notes

You can make these low carb jalapeno poppers ahead of time and refrigerate before baking. Best fresh, but they can be frozen for later use.
