Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 Jalapenos (or you can buy more)
6 oz cream cheese softened
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon butter (melted)

Steps:

Start by slicing your jalapenos in half. If you don't like a lot of heat, you will scoop out the seeds in your jalapeno peppers along with the white membrane.
Take your halved jalapenos and rinse them under cold water, to remove the oil.
Now in a bowl you will add your cream cheese, shredded cheese, and seasonings and mix until the pepper stuffing is nice and creamy.
Spoon the popper filling into the jalapenos and set down.
In a small bowl mix your melted butter and bread crumbs until mixed.
Take your stuffed peppers and dip into the breadcrumbs. Shake off any excess and place on air fryer rack.
Turn air fryer to 325 and cook for 15-20 minutes. You want the bread crumbs on top of the jalapeno poppers to get golden brown.
Allow the hot jalapeno poppers to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce.
