4 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 ounce grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion (green part)
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
6 jalapeno peppers
12 slices prosciutto or 3 ounces prosciutto

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 deg F. Line rimmed pan with foil, and coat with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses, scallion, and lemon zest.
Wear rubber gloves to protect hands and halve the jalapenos lengthwise. Remove ribs and seeds. Stuff each half with the cheese mixture, making sure to use all of the cheese.
Wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each pepper half, overlapping the ends on the bottom of the jalapeno.
Arrange on baking sheet and bake on center rack of oven until the prosciutto is slightly crispy, about 15 minutes.
