Make the panko breadcrumb topping. In a small mixing bowl, add panko breadcrumbs & spices mixing to combine. Then add the olive oil mixing again until a crumbly textured topping forms. Set aside.
Mix the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl add room temperature cream cheese, greek yogurt, cheddar cheese, bacon and remaining spice mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold the mixture until all ingredients are fully incorporated. If you're a fan of spice, add a little hot sauce in here to kick up the heat!
Prepare jalapeño peppers. Slice jalapeno peppers lengthwise. Using a small spoon, remove the seeds & insides and discard. Alternatively if you enjoy spicy jalapenos, you can leave a few of the seeds in tact.
Stuff the jalapeños. Stuff each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture. Once all jalapeños are stuffed, then sprinkle with the panko breadcrumb mixture and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet before adding to the air fryer basket.
Air fry. Preheat air fryer if necessary, depending on the type of air fryer, 380F for 5 minutes. Add jalapeño halves to your air fryer basket and air fry at 380 degrees F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket you may have to do this in batches. Serve alone or with a side of blue cheese dressing for dipping.
