Ingredients
  

6 fresh jalapeños, halved and seeds removed

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled feta cheese, green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Carefully fill each halved jalapeño with the cheese mixture, ensuring they're generously stuffed.

        In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and olive oil. Mix well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

          Press the filled jalapeños into the panko mixture, coating the top and sides thoroughly.

            Place the coated jalapeño popper bites onto the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

                Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
