- ¼ cup Green Onions, sliced
- ⅛ cup Cilantro, chopped

Instructions
- Prepare the Jalapeños : Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Be careful if you’re sensitive to spice – wearing gloves can help!
- Make the Filling : In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated cheese, green onions, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each jalapeño half generously with the cheese mixture.
- Wrap with Bacon : Cut each slice of bacon in half. Wrap one piece of bacon around each stuffed jalapeño half, securing the ends with a toothpick if needed.
- Bake : Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese filling is bubbly.
