Ingredients
- 10-12 whole fresh jalapeños
- 1 pound of sausage
- 8 ounce block of cream cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cut the jalapenos lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds and membranes. After cleaning, place the jalapenos in a bowl of cold water.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is browned and crumbly.
- Once sausage is cooked, lower the heat and add the block of cream cheese and all the shredded mozzarella. Stir the mixture until it is well combined and the cheeses are melted and smooth.
- Remove the jalapenos from the cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Using a spoon, carefully fill each jalapeno half with the sausage and cheese mixture. The filling should be heaped slightly above the pepper. Once all are filled sprinkle each one with some of the shredded parmesan.
- Bake in a pre-heated 350° oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese on top is golden and the jalapenos are tender. The timing will vary based on your oven and the size of your peppers, so keep an eye on them during the last few minutes.
