Try these quick and delicious prosciutto-wrapped sweet stuffed peppers, with a creamy ricotta-mozzarella filling!
The Deets
Here’s a fantastic snack or appetizer idea to add to your menu this week: prosciutto-wrapped sweet stuffed peppers. These are a fun and delicious twist on the classic jalapeño popper, but with a bit of extra sweetness and just as much flavor. The best part? They’re quick and easy to make, taking only about 20 minutes from start to finish!
I partnered with @pureflavor to highlight their Aurora Bites Mini Sweet Peppers, which are absolutely perfect for appetizers. Their natural sweetness pairs beautifully with a wide variety of ingredients, making them a versatile choice for creating crowd-pleasing bites.
For the filling, I used a creamy and flavorful mixture of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, combined with a beaten egg to hold it all together. A sprinkle of salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes add just the right amount of seasoning and a subtle kick. Once stuffed, the peppers are wrapped in savory prosciutto, which crisps up beautifully in the oven, adding a layer of texture and depth to every bite.
Whether you’re hosting friends, looking for a game-day snack, or just want to treat yourself to something special, these prosciutto-wrapped sweet stuffed peppers are a must-try! If you enjoyed this, check out my other app ideas here.
Here’s how to make it:
Prosciutto Wrapped Sweet Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients
- 12 Pure Flavor® Aurora bites mini sweet peppers
- 8 pieces of prosciutto
- Shredded parm for topping
- Parsley for topping
The filling:
- 3 lbs fresh ricotta
- 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 egg, beaten
- salt/pepper/red pepper flakes to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400. Coat a pan with cooking spray.
- Slice Pure Flavor® Aurora Bites mini sweet peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stems on. Leaving the stems on keeps them flat on the pan and helps them hold together when you add the filling later. Remove all the seeds from the inside and add to a plate.
- Make your filling: combine ricotta, mozzarella, egg, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to a bowl. Mix until combined.
- Using a spoon, add filling to the inside of a pepper. Then take a piece of prosciutto (usually about half a slice or so) and wrap around each pepper so that it is fully covered. Repeat with remaining peppers and place evenly apart on the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and bake for about 15-18 min or until prosciutto starts to brown.
- Remove and transfer to a plate. Top with fresh grated parmesan and chopped parsley. Enjoy!
