Steps:
- In a bowl, use a fork to blend cream cheese, garlic, onions, cheddar cheese, and lime juice.
- Wearing rubber gloves, cut chilies in half lengthwise. With a knife, cut seed lump from beneath the stem inside each chili, leaving stem end in place (to form a cup). Pull out and discard veins. Fill chili halves equally with cheese mixture, spreading surface smooth.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg whites until slightly frothy. Put cornflake crumbs in another small bowl. Dip filled chili halves, 1 at a time, in egg whites, then roll in crumbs. Set chilies slightly apart on a 12- by 15-inch baking sheet, filling the sheet.
- Bake in a 350° oven until crumbs are slightly darker brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

Here is a much healthier recipe for jalapeno poppers. The peppers are stuffed with mushrooms, zucchini, corn and manchego cheese. These poppers get baked in the oven. Wouldn't these be nice to serve out by the pool with a margarita. Yum! I think yes!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Split jalepeno pepper down the side, but keep the stem in tact (wear gloves).
- With your thumb or a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and membrane leaving a pocket in which to stuff. Blend cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onion, and garlic powder. Stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture and place on a sprayed baking sheet and top with a sprinkle of paprika.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until the peppers are softened and cheese is melted. Let sit a few minutes for the cheese to set up before eating.
Tips:
- For a crispy coating, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
- To make the poppers extra spicy, use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños.
- If you don't have any cream cheese, you can substitute Greek yogurt or Neufchâtel cheese.
- For a healthier option, bake the poppers instead of frying them.
- Garnish the poppers with chopped cilantro or green onions before serving.
