Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Arrange the PEPPADEW® Jalapeño Halves, cut side facing upwards, in a single layer on a baking sheet. Heat a dry frying pan and gently toast the pine nuts for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Place the remaining filling ingredients into a mixing bowl, add the toasted pine nuts and combine. Spoon the filling into the PEPPADEW® Jalapeño Halves. Mix the panko crumbs or fresh bread crumbs with the Parmesan cheese and the cayenne pepper and scatter over the top of the filled PEPPADEW® Jalapeño Halves. Bake in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes, or until the crumb topping is golden and brown.
