Marinated Stuffed Cherry Peppers with Mozzarella and Prosciutto

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Marinated Stuffed Cherry Peppers with Mozzarella and Prosciutto.

1. Step 1

   Begin by coring the cherry peppers. Cut a circle around the stem at an inward angle, then remove the tops and scoop out the seeds and membranes, similar to carving a tiny pumpkin.

2. Step 2

   Cut the mozzarella cheese into small cubes, ensuring they are thumbnail-sized to fit into the peppers. Slice the prosciutto in half and wrap each piece around a mozzarella cube before stuffing it into the prepared peppers.

3. Step 3

   In a jar or lidded container, pour in the olive oil. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until well combined.

4. Step 4

   Carefully add the stuffed peppers to the oil mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the lid and let the peppers marinate for 5 to 6 hours in the refrigerator.

5. Step 5

   Serve the marinated stuffed cherry peppers directly from the jar, enjoying the burst of flavors!
