Instructions

Slice the 3 Poblano Peppers length-wise, and scrape the seeds out with a spoon.
Shred 1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese and 1/2 Cup Smoked Gouda Cheese, and combine with 2 Ounces of softened Cream Cheese, 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder, and 1/2 Teaspoon
Granulated Garlic. Stir to combine, and refrigerate until it is time to stuff the peppers.
Place halved Poblano Peppers in a steamer basket, and steam for about 6-7 minutes, or until the peppers are juste tender. We like to leave them still on the crispy side.
Once the Poblano Peppers are tender enough, place them onto a plate to cool, until you are able to safely handle them.
Remove the Cheese filling from the refrigerator, and spread equal amounts into the cavity of each Poblano Pepper.
Wrap each of the Stuffed Poblano Pepper halves with a piece of Uncured Bacon, and use a toothpick to secure the bacon to the pepper. (This will help hold it all together in the oven or Air Fryer.
Spray the bottom of the Air Fryer with some Avocado Oil Spray (or other suitable Keto-friendly cooking spray).
Air Fry at 370*F for about 14 Minutes, or until the Bacon is cooked to your liking. Be sure to separate the Peppers in the Air Fryer so that the Bacon is not touching. This will help them cook faster and give a more even crisp to the bacon too.
Serve Hot and enjoy!
