Course: Appetizer

Cuisine: American

Servings:

Prep the jalapenos by slicing them in half lengthwise, then scoop out the seeds and membranes using a small spoon.
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar, garlic powder, and green onion.
In another bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs and melted butter.
Fill jalapenos with cream cheese mixture, then top with breadcrumbs.
Put in Air Fryer basket and bake for 6-8 minutes at 380 degrees F until breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Cream Cheese: To soften cream cheese fast microwave for 10 seconds.
Air Fryer: Depending on your Air Fryer you might need to air fry the poppers in batches. My 5.8 qt Air Fry fits 12 jalapeno halves. The cooking time can also vary slightly depending on your Air Fryer
Presentation: I prefer to leave the stem on the jalapenos because it makes it easier to pick them up and to fill them without the filling spilling out
CAUTION: Use gloves when prepping the jalapenos and avoid touching your face
Heat: If you like it spicy leave some of the membranes in the jalapenos intact, for less spiciness remove all of the seeds and membranes
Oven baking: If you don’t have an Air Fryer or want to make a bigger batch at the same time you can make this recipe in the oven. Arrange the prepared jalapenos poppers on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees F for 12-15 minutes, until crisp and golden on top.
