When I first decided to make Jalapeno Poppers Stuffed with Corn, I was looking for a recipe that blended spice and sweetness seamlessly. After experimenting with various fillings, I discovered that combining cream cheese, corn, and spices gives the perfect creamy texture and sweetness to balance the heat of the jalapenos. This method worked beautifully and I couldn’t have been happier with the results!

During my last get-together, I served these poppers along with a dipping sauce made of sour cream, which perfectly complemented the flavors. Guests were impressed, and I received compliments on how the filling was just the right mix of textures. Using fresh corn instead of canned adds a delightful crunch, making each bite even more satisfying!

Instructions for Jalapeno Poppers Stuffed with Corn

Prepare the Jalapenos

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to reduce the heat if desired.

Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sweet corn, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Stuff the Jalapenos

Spoon the filling generously into each jalapeno half and pack it down gently.

Coat with Breadcrumbs

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture over the filled jalapenos.

Bake

Arrange the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Allow the poppers to cool slightly before serving!

Pro Tips

To balance the spice, serve these poppers with a sour cream or yogurt dip. For added flavor, you can also sprinkle some smoked paprika over the top before baking.
