Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 large jalapeños
  • 4 oz 1/3 less-fat cream cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
  • ⅛ cup fine cut chives (or 2 scallions, green tops only sliced)
  • 6 slices center-cut bacon (halved)

Instruction

  • Wearing rubber gloves, halve the jalapeños lengthwise to make 12 pieces, Scoop out the seeds and membranes and discard.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar, and scallions. Using a small soon or spatula, fill the jalapeños with the cream cheese filling. Wrap a bacon strip around each pepper and secure with a toothpick.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 325 F.
  • Working in batches, place the stuffed peppers in a single layer in the air dryer basket. Cook for about 12 minutes, until the peppers are tender, the bacon is browned and crisp, and the cheese is melted. (For a toaster oven-style air fryer, cook at 300 F; the timing remains the same:)
  • Serve warm!
