For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the cream cheese mixture.
If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the membranes along with the seeds from the jalapeños.
These poppers are best served warm, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
Experiment with different types of cheese for the filling, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for an extra kick.
You can prepare the poppers ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Apr 15, 2024My family loves spicy food, so I used serrano peppers instead of jalapeños. They were definitely hot, but delicious!
