I am swimming in jalapenos right now. I’m only half kidding. Every time I go out in the backyard I come back in with a nice bowl of little hot green peppers from the garden. I’ve made salsa, I’ve put them on pizza, in enchiladas and in guacamole. And now I’ve made these cheesy corn stuffed jalapenos.
These were pretty straight forward to put together. You clean your jalapenos first by slicing them in half longways and scraping out the seeds and membranes (I used a grapefruit spoon and it was so easy). Put together your cheese mixture and carefully stuff each pepper half with a tablespoon or so of the filling. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes and you’ve got yourself a nice appetizer for your next get together.
These are a fun spicy addition to any get together. Perfect for summertime when jalapenos and corn are everywhere!
Ingredients
- Cheesy Corn Stuffed Jalapenos
- Recipe from Aggie's Kitchen
- 8 jalapenos, sliced in half longways
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz monterey jack or cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1 garlic clove, minced or pressed through garlic press
- 1 ear corn, kernels cut off
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- good pinch salt and fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Take each jalapeno half and carefully clean out all the seeds and membranes using a spoon or paring knife. The insides of some jalapenos can be very hot so use caution, consider wearing gloves (I typically don't).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil.
- In a bowl combine cream cheese, shredded cheese, cumin, garlic, corn, cilantro, salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning.
- Sprinkle a little salt over each jalapeno half. Using a tablespoon, stuff each jalapeno half with cheese mixture and place on cookie sheet. Be careful not to overstuff. Bake in 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Switch oven to broiler setting and broil for a few minutes till tops are slightly browned.

Thanks for this recipe. We have oodles of banana peppers and this would be a perfect way to use some of them!
I also dice them up and freeze them in quart freezer bags. Same goes for all the green bell peppers we have (sometimes I only slice those — perfect for fajitas in the winter). They are good for cooking in the winter.
love spycy food so i will give this recepi a try, is it better to use the green jalapeños or the redish ones?
Use http://as-seen-on-tv-promotions.com/perfect-brownie
We were swimming in them for a while too! Until our cantaloupe and watermelon plants took over the garden! What a great use. I bet these are totally delicious. Very summery
I am swimming in jalapenos TOO!
Cannot wait to make these! 
ANNDDD yes, you can freeze them! 
YUM! These look great – I love the addition of corn in there, too. These are perfect for the summer – thanks for another great recipe!
Yes, please. These tasty little appetizers look right up my alley.
These look scrumptious! So jealous of your garden – we finally moved into a house complete with a backyard but I’m pretty sure I have a brown thumb :/
Oh Aggie, these are awesome! There are worse problems than swimming in jalapenos… though I admit I wish I lived closer so I could come pillage your stash.
I need these immediately. Sadly, I only have one sad little jalapeno plant and there are only three peppers on there. Then again, I could make these just for me. Three peppers should do nicely.
These look very delicious. Perfect finger food which I am bookmarking!
Just made these with our banana peppers. We ADORE them! Thanks again for the idea/recipe!
Awesome! What a great idea to try them with banana peppers. What a great side dish!! Thanks for trying them and letting me know
Happy you liked them!
Such a perfect way to enjoy the bountry from your garden Aggie.
Now that is a garden put to good use!
Oh wow Aggie a girl after my own heart. I love spicy I am happy you don’t shy away from it either. I usually stuff poblanos but jalapenos are a staple in my house and I should try this recipe. Looks awesome!
This one’s right up my alley, Aggie! Love jalapeños and everything you stuffed in ‘em. Mmm…
Aggie, I love these and have to make them!
These look really delish! I love the corn in them.
These look so good Aggie! I’ll be “stealing” some of your jalepenos before I leave….ha ha! Can’t wait to make your salsa also with these peppers.
These are so fun Aggie. My 4 year old discovered last night that he loves jalapenos so count him in on these appetizers! xo
Great appetizer and very appealing!
These sound delish. My luck I would clean all those jalapenos and then touch my eye or something!
Oh dear GOD these look good. Is there any room in them for me to snuggle?
…not kidding either.
I need this in my life! I need to come over again and get some more jalapenos from you!
This would be such a great appy to serve while the bbq is cooking up the main dish! Yum!
OMG!! Adding this to my recipe stash. I love peppers!
This is so awesome. I’m swimming in jalapenos now too and I love just this type of appetizer. It looks great. I’ll probably stray a little and put some bacon pices in it, though….lol Thanks for sharing
@alanecooke
Oh, I am loving this recipe! Copied it already!
I’m making them tomorrow!! Hope you are having a great trip!
LOVE this appetizer idea! They look so delicious and they’re unique and pretty too!
These jalapenos look amazing and I have tried just about every way of stuffing them. Thanks for the recipe.
These look great! Always looking for new ways to use jalapenos–thanks!
These look amazing! And i’m so jealous of your garden…one day, sigh.
These are gorgeous!! My husband is a popper junkie, so I’m thinking these are a better substitute
holy crap! while your recipe looks effing delicious and I am going to make it, your print feature actually prints out the recipe AND all the comments? My printer is going nuts.
@dhanes420…sorry about that! if you check out the print button again you can actually choose not to include the images and certain text, if you slide the cursor over the text it will highlight it in yellow and give you the option to “delete” it. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
These look fantastic, my guys would love them!
Just discovered your blog via a recipe tweet from @ChristineLeiser. My kids love jalepenos! This looks absolutely delish! My oldest just got his drivers license and he loves to cook – he’s going out later for the ingredients and then to my sister’s house because she grows jalepenos!
Aggie- We can’t get enough of these. Now that we are doing apps for Football Sunday, they are top on my list. Soo delicious!!
Salivating here. I LOVE stuffed jalapenos… have a great recipe wrapped with bacon that people constantly ask me to make. What a great variation with the corn! I wish we were swarmed with jalapenos up here in Minnesota! When we get back to AZ, I will be growing them a plenty!
What a great recipe! Can’t wait to try it. Just a quick question: do I need to cook/steam the corn before adding it to the cream cheese mixture?
Hi there! Thank you! I personally don’t but it would work with cooked corn as well. If I happen to have leftover steamed corn I would use that, but I’ve also just cut it right off raw and used it that way too!
