step by step
Method
- Step 1
Make the jalapeño popper filling
- Mix the softened cream cheese with 1 tbsp ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, chopped scallions and chopped pickled jalapeños until well combined.
- Step 2
Prep the pickles
- Dry the pickles well with a paper towel.
- Core out the inside of each pickle.
- Stuff each pickle with the jalapeño popper mixture.
- Step 3
Set up the breading station
- Beat 3 eggs with a little heavy whipping cream.
- Mix 1 cup flour with 1 tbsp ranch seasoning.
- Blend the Flamin' Hot Cheetos into a fine dust.
- Step 4
Bread the stuffed pickles
- Coat each stuffed pickle in the seasoned flour.
- Dip into the egg wash.
- Roll in the Cheetos dust.
- Repeat the egg and Cheetos coating for a thicker crust.
- Step 5
Air fry
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, flipping the pickles halfway through.
- Cook until golden and crispy — check earlier, as air fryers can cook faster.
- For an extra crunchy coating, roll in more Cheetos dust right when they come out of the air fryer.
