Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Sliced Bacon
  • 10 oz Cream Cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 2 cloves Garlic Clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Chives, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 10 turns Black Pepper, freshly cracked
  • 12 Jalapeños

Instructions
 

  • Carefully arrange the bacon slices in a single layer in the cooking tray. Then, place the tray back in the air fryer. To achieve the best results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer.
  • Cook the bacon at 400°F (205℃) for 10 minutes. If you are using thick-cut bacon, you may need to cook it for a few minutes longer.
  • Using a pair of tongs, carefully remove the crispy bacon from the airfryer to a plate or serving tray. Chop or crumble the bacon into small bits.
  • Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chives, parsley, garlic in a small mixing bowl. Stir well with a spoon or spatula and season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped bacon and mix well.

  • Wear gloves for this step if you are sensitive to pepper heat. Cut the jalapeños in half, lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. You can leave the stems on (they make nice handles for eating!) or trim them off.
    12 Jalapeños
  • Using a spoon, fill each of the jalapeño halves with a big dollop of the cream cheese mixture, mounding slightly.
  • Place the stuffed poppers into the cooking tray of the air fryer making sure to leave space between each of them.
  • Cook the poppers at 365°F (185℃) for 8 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the stuffed poppers to a serving plate or tray.
  • Finish these delectable poppers with some freshly chopped parsley and a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with sour cream or your favorite sauce.
