Notes

Jalapeño Heat Level: The heat of jalapeños can vary remove all seeds and membranes for a milder taste or leave some for extra spice.

Cornbread Consistency: If your batter feels too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it up for easier filling.

Cheese Options: Swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different cheesy flavor.

Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5-7 minutes.

Freezing: Freeze unbaked stuffed jalapeños on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake straight from the freezer, adding 5-7 minutes to the baking time.
