Ingredients
- 5 Anaheim peppers stemmed and cored ( or more as needed, depending on the size)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- FOR SERVING cilantro chopped fresh cilantro, spicy, if desired
- FOR SERVING chili flakes
- FOR SERVING hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat an oven to 400 degrees.
- Place Anaheim peppers on a baking sheet and bake about 20-25 minutes, flipping once through, or until the skins become charred and puffy. Or, you can char them over open flame on the stovetop.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly, then place into a plastic baggie to steam for several minutes. Once cooled enough, peel off the skins and discard. Set the peppers aside until ready to use.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cheeses with garlic and Cajun seasoning. Mix well.
- Slit each pepper down the center and scoop out the insides.
- Spoon the seasoned cheese mixture into the peppers and set them into a baking dish.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill the stuffed Anaheim peppers for 15 minutes, or broil them for 6-7 minutes, until the cheeses are nice and melty.
- Remove from heat and set onto serving plates.
- Top with cilantro, spicy chili flakes and hot sauce, if desired.
Notes
- Heat Factor: Mild. Anaheim peppers are quite low on the heat scale. You can easily add in some hotter chopped peppers or chili flakes/powders with your cheese blend, or use a spicy Creole or Cajun seasoning blend. Or finish with a spicy hot sauce.
