This is a perfect way to use pimento cream cheese. See my pimento cream cheese spread recipe to make it.

Equipment
Instructions
- Wearing gloves, cut each jalapeño in half lengthwise. Scrape out all the seeds and membranes of each jalapeño.
- Prepare the pimento cream cheese spread. (See note)
- Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño with 1 ½ tablespoons of pimento cream cheese spread. Fill it to be flush or just below the top of each jalapeño.
- Take a piece of bacon and wrap it around each jalapeño popper. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Repeat with all the jalapeño halves. Chill the poppers for at least one hour if the pimento cream cheese was just freshly prepared and not already cold.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350℉. Add the poppers to the basket of the air fryer. Don't overcrowd the basket.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is golden and crisp. Serve warm.
