Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups of cheddar cheese + more for topping
  • 1 ½ cups of bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • thinly sliced Jalapenos-the amount of heat you want is the amount you put in I used 2 chopped peppers
  • seasonings: salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Mix cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, and eggs together in a large bowl. You can add some chopped jalapenos here if you want extra kick.
  • Spray 24 muffin tin wells. Pat down the cheese/breadcrumb mixture into these muffin tins like a pie crust. Ensure that the edges have a crust going up to the top.
  • In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, jalapenos, and seasonings. Drop a spoonful of this mixture onto the crust in every muffin cup.
  • Sprinkle each muffin cup with extra cheddar cheese. I placed jalapeno slices in the center of each muffin cup for appearances as well.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted on top. Remove from tin with a fork. Serve these jalapeno popper cups warm.
