Servings 6 pieces

Equipment

  • 1 air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 5 jalapeños
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • ½ cup mozzarella
  • 10 strips bacon* microwavable

Instructions
 

  • Heat air fryer to 400 F.
  • Microwave jalapeños WHOLE in a dish for about 3-5 minutes until desired softness.
  • Cut the jalapeños in half and scrape out the seeds and membranes.
  • Soften cream cheese in microwave (should be 30-45 seconds). Mix in the mozzarella.
  • Lay out the jalapeños and pipe or spoon the cream cheese mixture onto the jalapeño halves. Wrap the bacon around so it sits under the jalapeño.
  • Air fry these for 12-15 minutes or until crisp to perfection!

Notes

*If you don't have microwavable bacon, just cook the bacon partially in a pan where it can still wrap around, or just skip bathing the jalapeños and air fry 10-15 minutes longer
