Servings: 5 serving
Ingredients
- 5 jalapeno pepper, halved & deseeded
- 10 slices bacon
- 8 ounce cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- First, mix the cheeses for the filling and add in the chives. Then split the peppers and remove the stems and seeds.
- Now, spoon the filling into the split jalapenos. Make sure it’s smooth across the top. You can’t have a heap of filling over the edges due to the next step.
- Wrap a piece of bacon around each jalapeno popper.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375℉.
- Place the poppers in the preheated air fryer for 14 minutes. Around the 12 minutes mark start to keep a check on them. Do not crowd them because you will not flip them, and the air will need to circulate around the poppers to cook the bacon on the bottom.
- Once the bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers are finished let them cool a bit. Be careful because the outside will cool and the inside filling will still be extremely hot.
