Preheat the oven to 375 degree. Line a baking sheet with tin foil
and coat with cooking spray.
Cook the bacon until crisp then drain on a paper towel; chop
bacon into very small pieces. Mix the bacon crumbles into the
cream cheese until thoroughly combined.
Cut jalapenos in half, lengthwise. Wear plastic gloves if possible
and carefully remove seeds and vein with a spoon. Smear each
jalapeño half with cream cheese and bacon mixture. Pour the
panko crumbs onto a plate. Dip the stuffed jalapeño into the
panko crumbs cream cheese side down.
Bake on a pan with a rack for 20-25 minutes. If the panko crumbs
aren't golden brown, turn the oven to broil and cook them,
watching carefully so they don't burn, for a few minutes.
