Stuffed Jalapenos

7 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/4 pound cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped fine
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 12 jalapeno peppers, halved
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, combine the grated Cheddar cheese with the cream cheese and sour cream, and use a fork to mash and combine.
  3. 3
    Add the cilantro, salt and pepper, and mix again to combine.
  4. 4
    Spoon the mixture into a quart-size plastic freezer bag, and set aside.
  5. 5
    Wearing disposable latex gloves (or at any rate being very careful not to get the interiors of the jalapenos on your skin or in your eyes or nose), use a knife to split the peppers down the center, and dispose of the seeds and ribs.
  6. 6
    Rub lightly with oil, and place on a roasting pan.
  7. 7
    Cut a half-inch triangle from one corner of the bag with the cheese in it, and pipe the mixture into each of the jalapenos.
  8. 8
    Roast until the peppers have softened and the cheese has just started to bubble, approximately 15 minutes.
  9. 9
    Finish over the grill, if you like.
