Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeno with Panko Topping

Preheat oven to 200ºC (390ºF).

Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scrape out all of the seeds and the pith.

Mix cream cheese and parsley in a bowl. Fill jalapenos with cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle a good amount of panko breadcrumbs on top and then wrap bacon around the stuffed jalapenos.

Preheat a grill over high heat, then add jalapenos, making sure the cheese side is face-up. Grill jalapenos for about 2–3 minutes until you have some nice marks and bacon is nice and crispy at the bottom.

Transfer jalapenos onto a lined baking tray, then bake jalapenos for 20–25 minutes until panko breadcrumbs are golden and bacon is crispy.
