PEPPER POPPERS
multi-colored mini peppers, most of a large bag
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
real bacon pieces/bits, to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
panko breadcrumbs
Wash and dry peppers. Slice stem end off and then cut in half lengthwise and clean out seeds
any any large veins. Place on a large baking tray; set aside. In a mixer or with electric beaters
mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, salt, garlic powder and paprika. Then by hand mix
in cheddar cheese, onions and bacon pieces until well combined. Fill each pepper with some
of the cheese mixture and then sprinkle with panko. If cooking now spray tops with cooking
spray and cook in the air fryer at 380 for 5 to 7 minutes, until the tops are browned and cheese
mixture is melty.
If freezing, after adding panko take a piece of plastic wrap and use to press panko into cheese
mixture. Then go ahead and spray tops with cooking spray and place baking tray in the freezer.
Once frozen store in freezer bags or containers. Cook in the air fryer at 400 for about 7 minutes.
