Blistered Cheesy Peppers
Report
Molly Baz' blistered cheesy peppers are now my official favorite late summer side dish/snack. The smokey charred peppers with the melty cheese are out of this world.

Ingredients
marinated shallots
- 1 shallot, peeled and very thinly sliced lengthwise.
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar (I used raspberry vinegar)
- salt
stuffed peppers
- 5 poblano peppers
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 lb Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 Serrano pepper, very thinly sliced
Instructions
- Toss the shallot shreds with the olive oil and vinegar, and sprinkle with a little salt. Set aside.
- Slice the peppers in half lengthwise and remove any veins or seeds. Place them all on a baking sheet and brush the outsides lightly with olive oil.
- Place the peppers cut side down and broil for about 5 minutes, until they are blistered all over. Don't worry if they get black, that's what you want!
- Remove the peppers from the oven and carefully flip them over. Stuff them with the shredded cheese. Note: I like to mound the cheese because it definitely shrinks down as it melts.
- Put the pan back in the broiler for another 3 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and bubbling.
- Transfer the peppers to a plate, and top with the shallots and Serrano pepper. Season with a little salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Serve asap, while they are hot.
