Ingredient Notes

  • Tiny jalapeños are harder to fill, so I suggest medium to large jalapeños for this recipe
  • Regular or whipped cream cheese is fine
  • Bacon need to be a thinner cut, center cut type bacon in order to cook properly in the air fryer
  • If desired, you can sub prosciutto for bacon

Preparation Notes

  • I like to remove the stems from the jalapeños to make them easier to eat but feel free to leave them on if you prefer the presentation
  • Remove all ribs and seeds if you don’t want them to be very spicy
  • Cream cheese should be a room temperature in order to mix easily
  • Cut bacon in half lengthwise so that you can wrap it fully around the jalapeño halves
  • Cook in single layer in air fryer basket (you can work in batches if needed)

Equipment Notes

  • A 5 quart or larger air fryer is best for this recipe

Recipe Notes

  • Place cream cheese mixture in plastic bag then cut tip and pipe into jalapeños for easier filling
  • Feel free to switch up the flavor by swapping out the type of preserves you use
  • Adjust cooking time as needed based on size of jalapenos
  • Poppers are done when they are crisp tender, bacon is cooked and filling is bubbly

How To Store Leftovers

  • What leftovers? 🤣 Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in microwave for a few seconds.
