Prosciutto Wrapped Stuffed Peppers
Sunday nights are big nights in my house, they’re the nights we watch The Walking Dead (which is the best show on TV by the way). So for the season premiere, I decided to have an appie night that included these Prosciutto Wrapped Stuffed Peppers.
I’ve been a fan of prosciutto wrapped stuffed peppers for a long time. A few months ago, I posted spinach artichoke stuffed peppers and they were also wrapped with the meaty goodness of prosciutto.
This particular recipe is something that my mom has made for years, it’s incredibly easy.
These stuffed peppers are so easy to make! Simply take off the tops, slice them in half and seed them.
Then spoon cream cheese in the filling of the baby pepper. At this point, you can add cheese (parmesan is my favorite), garlic, herbs for a little extra pizazz. OH! Or make them pizza style…okay I think I have a few extra posts coming up in the next few weeks. I don’t believe that this will be the last of the prosciutto wrapped stuffed peppers.
I like to cut the prosciutto in half when I wrap the baby bell peppers. I find it works really well. I bake these simple appetizers at 350 for 20 minutes. The prosciutto cooks up nicely, and it’s not as greasy as bacon (although bacon would be amazing as well – especially maple bacon).
