Air Fryer Cream Cheese Stuffed Peppers
Air Fryer Cream Cheese Stuffed Peppers have bacon, green onion, and cheddar cheese mixed in with the cream cheese to make a rich and creamy filling for mini peppers.
Equipment
- Kitchen Tongs
Ingredients
- 8 mini peppers
- 6 ounce (170 g) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (57 g) cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.8 g) garlic powder
- 2 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
- 2 green onions chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds and ribs.
- In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, crumbled bacon and green onions. Stir until well combined.
- Fill each pepper half with cream cheese filling.
- Place the peppers spaced out on a baking sheet. Cook at 400°F(205°C) for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
Notes
- You can store the cream cheese mixture in the refrigerator for a day or two, in case you're prepping ahead for something.
- Fill the peppers just below the edge, don't overfill. The excess will end up bubbling over into the air fryer basket.
- The pepper is still a little bit crunchy and it holds up well when you pick up a pepper after 6-8 minutes. If you want the peppers to be completely cooked through, you can continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes.
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
