Tips And Tricks
While this is an incredibly simple recipe, here are a few tips and tricks that can make you love it even more:
Use thin-cut bacon. This will ensure your bacon gets crispy without charring your peppers.Grab a toothpick. If you’re having trouble getting the bacon to stay in place when wrapping, simply place a toothpick through the bacon. Just remember to remove it before serving.Make it Vegetarian. Trying to maintain a meat-free lifestyle? Skip the bacon and cook as instructed.Chop It Up. Want to keep your hands clean? Skip wrapping the jalapeños with bacon and chop it up into fine pieces instead. Sprinkle the small pieces of bacon on top of the cream cheese and cook as directed.
How Long Do They Last?
In my house, about 20 minutes, max. But, if you have a little more self-control than we do and have some leftover, they last for up to 5 days in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
Can You Reheat Them?
Absolutely! One of the many things I love about this recipe is that you can reheat them the same way you cooked them–in the air fryer! To reheat them, simply lay them cream cheese side up in the air fryer and warm at 280F for 2 minutes or until the bacon is sizzling and the cream cheese is warmed through.
