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.
