Cherry Pepper Poppers image

I found this recipe on another web site and boy, is it ever good. I love these little bites of dynamite! The cheese does neutralize some of the fire, but not a lot! Bake time is chill time.

Time P5DT10m

Yield 12 pepper poppers

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 fresh cherry peppers
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 ounces provolone cheese, cubed
6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Slice the tops off of the cherry peppers and carefully remove the seeds.
  • Keep the peppers whole.
  • Wrap a cube of the cheese with procuitto and stuff it into the pepper.
  • If there is still room in the pepper, stuff in more proscuitto.
  • Repeat with remaining peppers.
  • Place all of the peppers into a jar.
  • A 1 quart jar usually works.
  • Sprinkle salt over peppers.
  • Pour in olive oil to cover all of the peppers.
  • Cover and let sit on counter top for 1 hour, then refrigerate.
  • I usually let them chill for at least 5 days.
