  • ¾ Cup of Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ Cup of Kraft Fat Free Shredded Mozzarella Cheeses

Instructions
  1. Preheat air fryer to 325 degrees.
  2. Combine Panko bread crumbs in a plastic zipper bag and bang on them with a mallet or rolling pin to make them smaller. Set aside.
  3. Combine cream cheese, shredded cheeses, bacon and all the seasonings into a bowl and mix well. Spoon about 1 tablespoon into each pepper half. Sprinkle Panko crumbs over the tops of all the pepper halves.
  4. Spray your air fryer base with vegetable cooking spray. Working in batches, place poppers in a single layer for 15-20 minutes to "fry".
  5. This makes about 20 Jalapeno Pepper Poppers [Depending on the size of your Jalapenos].
