Stuffed JalapeƱos with mozzarella, ricotta and parmigiana. Are you drooling yet? Me too! These are my momās very accidental creation as she randomly decided to stuff jalapeƱos when she had extra ricotta mixture from the eggplant rolls she was making years ago. They were absolutely the most delicious jalapeƱos I have ever had and I knew I couldnāt keep them a secret for much longer. If you are a lover of jalapeƱos, you will go to heaven and back with this recipe.
Three Cheese Stuffed JalapeƱos
Ingredients
- 14 JalapeƱos, seeded
- 3/4-1 cup ricotta
- 1 egg, or leave it out
- salt to taste
- Ā½ cup grated parmigiano
- 1-1.5 cups marinara, or as much as you like
- Ā½ cup mozzarella, or as much as you like
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400F. Wash and cut the ends of the JalapeƱos and discard the seeds with a knife or a spoon but be gentle. In a separate bowl add the ricotta, parm, egg, dash of salt and mix.
- Take a small pan (we used 8 by 8) and add marinara sauce to cover the bottom (we used our own homemade sugo/sauce but you can use any store bought like Raoās)
- Take each jalapeƱo and with a tiny spoon or a piping bag add ricotta mixture to each one making sure you push it down gently.
- Add them all to your baking dish, top with more marinara and some mozzarella.
- Bake at 400F for 35-40 minutes or until nice and melted and the peppers are soft but also have a bite to them. Enjoy.

Notes
You can leave out the egg if you are intolerant. Feel free to use any marinara like Raoās which is clean in ingredients. You are more than welcome to add basil to the ricotta but itās up to you. If you canāt handle any heat then stuff mini bell peppers instead. Good quality Parmigiano reggiano is always best so please try to use the good stuff and grate it yourself.
