Mozzarella Stuffed Peppadew.

 

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
• 1 teaspoon minced chives
• Pinch each salt and pepper
• 1/4 pound fresh mozzarella, cubed into 1/4 inch pieces
• 1 jar Peppadew or Cherry peppers (found in the grocery store near the olive jars)
• 6 slices Prosciutto, thinly sliced
•  

  Directions:

• In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, oregano, chives, salt and pepper. Mix well, add the mozzarella cubes and toss to coat. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
• Slice prosciutto into approximately 4 by 1/4 inch strips.

To Assemble the Peppers:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Stuff one cube of marinated mozzarella into each pepper. Wrap with a slice of prosciutto (best accomplished by sealing the prosciutto on the under side – stays secure). Place in baking dish. Bake peppers for about 10-12 minutes, just until the cheese melts and the Prosciutto gets crispy.
3. Serve warm.
