Stuffed Shishito Peppers Recipe

Step 1

Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature. Move oven rack to middle of oven and turn broiler on.

Step 2

Dice the salami into small pieces and add to a bowl with the cream cheese. Add the garlic powder and black pepper. Stir to blend thoroughly.

Step 3

Lay the shishito peppers out on a lined baking sheet and see how they lay. With a small paring knife cut a slit down the side facing up on each one (from below stem to almost the tip).

Step 4

Using a teaspoon, fill the pepper cavity and press sides together to hold cheese salami filling.

Step 5

Spray all of the stuffed shishitos with cooing spray or olive oil. Place tray in oven and broil for 5 minutes. Shishito peppers should blister and cheese filling turns a golden brown. Serve warm. Makes 30+ depending on size of shishito peppers.
