Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Cherry peppers (pickled, jarred)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 4 ounces Goat cheese (crumbled)
- 8 slices Prosciutto (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Drain the jarred cherry peppers and carefully remove the stems and seeds using a small knife or spoon. Set the prepared peppers aside on a plate.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, goat cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.
Scoop the cheese mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off for easier filling.
Carefully pipe the cheese mixture into each prepared cherry pepper, filling them to just below the edge.
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise to create thin strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around each stuffed cherry pepper, securing it in place by gently pressing the edges of the prosciutto together.
Arrange the Cherry Pepper Shooters on a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
