  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray baking sheet lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

  3. Toss breadcrumbs and remaining olive oil together on a prepared sheet tray. Toast for 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool.
  4. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeño and onion and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Remove sautéed jalapeño and onion to a bowl. Stir in the softened cream cheese and cheddar until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Place the baked pierogies on a platter. Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture to the top of each, sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs, green onions, chopped bacon and thinly sliced and diced jalapeños.
