Jalapenos: Provide the spicy kick and are the main vessel for the cheesy filling, making each bite flavorful and exciting.
Cream cheese: Adds a creamy, rich texture that balances the heat from the jalapenos, creating a smooth and delicious filling.
Shredded cheddar cheese: Brings a sharp, tangy flavor that complements the cream cheese and adds a melty, gooey texture.
Garlic powder: Infuses the filling with a subtle, savory depth, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the poppers.
Onion powder: Adds a hint of sweetness and a mild onion flavor, rounding out the taste of the cheese mixture.
Panko breadcrumbs: Provide a crispy, crunchy topping that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling, adding texture to each bite.
Melted butter: Helps the panko breadcrumbs adhere to the poppers and adds a rich, buttery flavor to the crispy topping.
