How To Make Pepperoni Cream Cheese Bites In Air Fryer

Lay out (about 10) pepperoni slices on a preparation surface.

Use a knife to spread about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese onto each slice of pepperoni.

Next, cover each with another slice of pepperoni to make a sandwich or “bite”.

Add pepperoni bites to air fryer basket. Cook at 400 degrees for 4 minutes.

When pepperoni is done cooking, open the air fryer basket and remove pepperoni bites with a spatula. Lay out on a serving plate.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure there’s enough cream cheese in between the pepperoni’s to make the bites stick together
• Be sure to lay the pepperoni “sandwiches” out in a single layer in the air fryer for the most even cooking
• If any of the pepperoni’s come off the cream cheese during the cooking process, just replace the tops of the bites

Is It Ok To Put Cheese In The Air Fryer?

Yes. Some varieties of hard cheese (such as shredded) might blow around in the air fryer basket, so you might need to weigh it down with other ingredients. If you use a soft cheese (like cream cheese), it will melt a bit, but it is relatively easy to clean-up after cooking. You can try using air fryer liners for easier clean-up. The food will still crisp up, but any oil or melted ingredients will stay inside the liner.

What To Serve With Pepperoni Cream Cheese Bites In Air Fryer

These tasty bites would be great with other quick appetizers like Air Fryer Frozen Crab Rangoon, Prosciutto Wrapped Cantaloupe Skewers Appetizer, Air Fryer Frozen Pretzel Bites.

Or for extra flavor, serve these pepperoni bites with a homemade sauce like Instant Pot Cherry Tomato Sauce, Basil Pesto Sauce Recipe (Fresh Italian Homemade Pesto, Best Ever), or Sweet & Spicy Sriracha Chili Dipping Sauce Recipe. You could even serve them with a trio of sauces. Yum!
