For the Jalapeños:

6-8 jalapeños, halved lengthwise
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Dip:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Jalapeños:
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chili powder (if using). Mix until well combined.
Stuff the Jalapeños:
Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, filling them generously. Place the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Make the Creamy Dip:
While the jalapeños are baking, prepare the creamy dip by mixing together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped parsley, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Serve:
Once the jalapeño poppers are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with the creamy dip on the side.
