Step 1

Heat oven to 450°F. Halve jalapeños lengthwise. Using small spoon or tip of small knife, scrape out seeds and membrane from jalapeños. Using paper towels, pat jalapeños dry; set aside.

Step 2

In medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, shredded cheese, scallions and ½ tsp. Adobo until well combined; set aside. In separate, medium bowl, mix together bread crumbs, paprika and remaining Adobo until well combined; set aside. Then, in separate medium bowl, using fork, lightly beat eggs with 2 tsp. water; set aside.

Step 3

Assemble Poppers. Using small spoon, scoop reserved cream cheese mixture into jalapeño cavity. Dip stuffed jalapeño in egg mixture, and then transfer to breadcrumb mixture, pressing breadcrumbs to adhere; transfer popper to greased, foil-lined baking tray (cream cheese side-up). Repeat with remaining jalapeños, cream cheese mixture, egg mixture and breadcrumbs. Using pastry brush, lightly brush tops of poppers with olive oil.

Step 4

Bake until breadcrumbs are golden brown and crisp and cream cheese is hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
