Ingredients
- 6 Jalapeno peppers
- 4 ounces of cream cheese at room temperature
- 12 lices of uncured bacon not thick cut
- ⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- optional: ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Cut each jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and ribs. Be sure to wash your hands before moving on!
- Add the cream cheese, shredded cheddar and garlic powder to a bowl and mix until well combined.
- Fill each jalapeño pepper half with the filling, I use a mini silicone spatula to make it easier.
- Depending on the size of your peppers, take ½-3/4 of a slice of bacon and wrap it around each pepper. Start from the bottom so you can tuck in the ends. Wrap them fairly tight and be sure you have plenty of bacon wrapped around and ending under the pepper. This will prevent the bacon from shrinking up and exposing the filling, which could ooze out.
- Set them on a wire racks of your air fryer, I put 6 on each and bake @ 370F for 15 minutes. Increase the temperature to 400F and bake for another 3-4 minutes or until the bacon is crisp.
- Serve while they are still warm, with optional ranch dressing to dip them in.
