Why You’ll Love Stuffed Jalapeños
These are just like jalapeno poppers, Mediterranean-style! The Stuffed Jalapeños are the perfect little bite with the best combination of flavors: creamy and tangy ricotta, salty parm and melty mozzarella. The 🔥 kick from the jalapeños is cooled down by all the creamy cheese. The 🍅 tomato sauce brightens it all up with just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for game day, as a side dish or fun party appetizer!
How to Prepare
🔥 Start by preheating your oven to 400F (200C).
🔪 Meanwhile, wash and cut the ends of the jalapeños and discard the seeds with a knife or a spoon.
🧑🍳 Use a rotary cheese grater to grate your parmesan and a box grater to grate the mozzarella.
🥣 Now, to a separate bowl add the ricotta, parm, egg, salt and then mix together.
🍅 Take a baking dish and add marinara sauce to cover the bottom (we used our own homemade sauce but you can use any store bought like Rao’s)
🥄 Take each jalapeño and with a tiny spoon or a piping bag add ricotta mixture to each one making sure you push it down gently.
🌶️ Add them all to your baking dish, then top with more marinara and some mozzarella.
🌡️ Lastly, bake at 400F (200C) for 35-40 minutes or until nice and melted and the peppers are soft but still have a bite to them. Enjoy.
