1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the split English muffins on the baking sheet and lightly toast them in the oven for 3–4 minutes.
-
In a glass mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Mix in half of the bacon, a few jalapeño slices, and a handful of shredded cheese to create the jalapeño popper spread.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the toasted English muffins.
-
Top each muffin with mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and the remaining bacon.
-
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

For extra golden cheese, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
-
Sprinkle with chopped green onions or chives and serve warm.
Notes
Remove the jalapeño seeds for a milder flavor.
• Leave the seeds in if you like extra heat.
