Time 5h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 each cherry peppers
1 (7 ounce) package mozzarella cheese
5 slices prosciutto
2 cups olive oil
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Core out peppers by cutting a circle, at an inward angle, around the stem. Remove tops and scoop seeds and membranes out, like a tiny pumpkin.
  • Cut thumbnail-size cubes of mozzarella, varying size a little bit to fit each pepper. Cut prosciutto slices in half. Wrap each half around mozzarella cubes and stuff into the open peppers.
  • Pour olive oil into a jar or lidded container. Stir in Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Whisk together well.
  • Add peppers to the oil mixture and seal the lid. Let marinate for 5 to 6 hours. Serve straight out of the jar.
