Remove from the baking rack to a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool, then dice into small pieces.Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Set aside.In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, gratedcheese, 3/4 of the bacon, green onion,garlic powder, and salt.Spoon the filling into each jalapeo cavity. Arrange the peppers on prepared baking sheet, filling-side up.Sprinkle a small amount of panko on top of each jalapeno, then lightly coat the top of the jalapenos withcooking spray. Bake until the jalapenos are tender and the breadcrumbs are golden, about 15-18 minutes. If the panko isn't browned to your liking when the peppers are soft, switch the oven to broil and broil for 1 minute or so watching VERY CAREFULLY to make sure the breadcrumbs do notburn (don't walk away!). Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining bacon. Serve hot.
