It doesn’t have to be Cinco de Mayo to enjoy these treats. Any warm weather gathering will do. These guys are truly versatile. I made this batch gluten-free by switching out the panko with a gluten-free version.

Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Preheat broiler on HIGH with the oven rack about five inches from heat.
Step 2
Toss the Bell Peppers (2 pckg) with Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) and Kosher Salt (1/2 tsp) , arrange them in a single layer on an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Broil until the tops are lightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool to room temperature for half an hour.
Step 3
Reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 4
Using the same foil-lined baking sheet, flip over each pepper so that the charred side is on the bottom.
Step 5
Cut and remove the top third of each pepper from stem end to tip. Reserve the cut-off piece for another use. Scoop out the membranes and seeds, and discard. Drain off any excess moisture.
Step 6
Whisk together the Pepper Jack Cheese (2 cups) and Evaporated Milk (1/2 cup) in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Whisk until smooth for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Stir in the Cream Cheese (4 Tbsp) and Pickled Jalapeño Peppers (1/4 cup) .
Step 8
Spoon about a teaspoon of cheese mixture into each pepper; adjust accordingly depending on the size of the pepper. Do not overfill. Bake until the tops are golden for 10-12 minutes.
Step 9
Meanwhile, melt Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp) in a skillet over medium. Add the Panko Breadcrumbs (1/2 cup) and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp) , cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3 more minutes.
Step 10
Sprinkle the filled mini peppers with the panko mixture and Fresh Cilantro (2 Tbsp) .
