Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice the poblano peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Peppers

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each half of the poblano peppers, filling them generously.

  4. 4

    Bake the Peppers

    Place the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm.
