Ingredients
- 10 fresh jalapeño peppers halved and de-seeded
- 250 g (½lb) cream cheese room temperature
- 6 strips streaky bacon cooked until crispy (the air fryer is great for this)
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups flour seasoned with 1 tsp salt
- 3 eggs beaten
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Finely chop the crispy bacon then add to the cream cheese with the chives and cheddar cheese. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder then stir to combine,
- Using a teaspoon, stuff the cream cheese mixture into the halved jalapenos.
- Place the seasoned flour in a shallow bowl, beat the eggs into another bowl and in a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with a tsp of salt and the parmesan cheese.
- Coat the jalapenos first in the flour, then in the egg, repeating these steps for a thicker coating and finally into the breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the stuffed jalapenos to ensure even coverage.
- Place the breaded jalapenos in the air fryer basket then spray with olive oil. Air fry at 205°C/400°F for 10 minutes until crisp and golden then serve with lemon wedges.
