Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 325°F (160°C).
- Wearing latex gloves, slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the seeds and membrane.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper with a rubber spatula. Transfer the cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
- Pipe the cream cheese filling into each jalapeño half.
- Wrap each jalapeno in 1 strip of bacon.
- Working in batches, place half of the poppers in the air fryer and fry for 8–10 minutes, until the bacon is crispy. Repeat with the remaining poppers.
- Enjoy!
