Ingredients
5 medium jalapenos
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese – shredded
2 Tbsp green onions – chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp butter – melted
Instructions
Slice jalapenos in half leaving the stems on. Then using a knife or small spoon cut out the seeds and membranes to hollow out the jalapenos.
In a small bowl mix together the cream cheese, sharp cheddar, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each jalapeno pepper.
In another small bowl combine the panko and the melted butter and mix well until the breadcrumbs are coated evenly.
Dip the poppers into the panko mixture to coat the top of the cream cheese mixture.
Bake in your air fryer at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes until the panko is a golden brown color.
Finally, remove from the air fryer, serve, and enjoy!
