For a little more heat in these poppers, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your liking.
Preheat the oven to 375° F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
Slice each pepper in half lengthwise then scoop out any seeds and membrane.
Add bacon to a non-stick sauté pan with cooking spray over medium heat and cook until crisp. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
Add onions to the pan used to cook the bacon and add more cooking spray if needed. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally until clear. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and goat cheese. Add the bacon, onions, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Grind toasted bread in a food processor with the garlic and Parmesan cheese. Set aside in a small bowl.
Spoon the cheese mixture into each pepper half (1 Tsp. of mixture per popper), and then press the cheese side of the popper into the whole wheat breadcrumb mixture. Lay on the prepared baking sheet breadcrumb side up and spray each one lightly with cooking spray.
Bake the poppers for about 20 minutes or until the peppers have softened and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

I realized that there differences in how original ingredients are made and nutritions will differ; but, while I did not do an exhaustive search, I did spent a lot time looking for ingredients that would match this recipes total nutritions stat and this is the closest I could get. I wonder if it is possible to get more nutrition info in each of the ingredients used.
I am making this recipe today, it looks and seems delicious. I will try to improve on the ingredients nutrition as I learn to cook. Thank you.

They are slightly sweet with a tiny kick to them. Add more of the crushed red pepper if you want something with any real kick, though.
We'll be making these again soon! Wonderful!
