    • 10 cherry peppers

  • Cheese / Dairy

    • 🧀 1 (7 ounce) package mozzarella cheese
    • 🧀 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • Meat / Protein

    • 5 slices prosciutto

  • Oil & Seasoning

    • 2 cups olive oil

    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

STEPS

1

Cut a circle, at an inward angle, around pepper stems. Remove tops; scoop out seeds and membranes, like a tiny pumpkin.

2

Cut mozzarella into thumbnail-sized cubes, varying sizes slightly to fit each pepper. Cut prosciutto slices in half; wrap around mozzarella cubes. Stuff into pepper openings.

3

Add olive oil to a jar or lidded container. Whisk in Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and pepper flakes to combine.

4

Add peppers to oil mixture; seal the lid. Let marinate for 5 to 6 hours. Serve straight out of the jar.
