Ingredients:

113 g Cottage Cheese or

6 Jalapeño peppersI saved one to chop up to spice up the stuffing.

72 g Jalapeño Jack Cheese

1 Garlic clove or 1/2 tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp Onion Powder

¼ tsp Chipotle Powder

¼ tsp cumin

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spray foil with nonstick spray.

On a flat surface, slice the jalapeños lengthwise. With a small or grapefruit spoon, scrape out the seeds and ribs from each jalapeño and discard. Set jalapeño halves aside.

Sliced Jalapeno

In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, half the jalapeno jack cheese, the onion, and the spices. Stir to combine. I like it hot, so I added an extra chopped jalapeno to the mix.

Stuffing in Bowl

With a spoon, fill the peppers with the cheese filling.

Arrange the peppers on the baking sheet and sprinkle with the remaining half of the cheddar cheese.

Stuffed Jalapenos

Bake for 8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned and the peppers are softened. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
