Ingredients

  • ½ cup shredded Gouda cheese
  • ¼ cup plain Greek-style yogurt

Directions

Step 1
For filling, stir together cream cheese, gouda, yogurt, oregano, Italian seasoning, and garlic in a bowl.

Step 2
Transfer filling to a piping bag (fitted with a tip) or a small zip-top plastic bag and snip off a corner. Pipe filling into each pepper half. Put panko in a small dish. Dip peppers, filling sides down, in panko to coat. Lightly coat panko with cooking spray.

Step 3
Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Air-fry peppers, panko sides up and working in batches as needed, until tender and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. f you like, garnish with additional fresh herbs.

Cook’s Note:

For a kid-friendly version, substitute 12 ounces mini bell peppers for the jalape?o peppers.
