Ingredients:

4 large Cubanelle peppers or 8 medium chiles (ex. poblanos)
8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Instructions:

On a medium-hot grill, roast the peppers or chiles, turning occasionally, until completely charred (about 10 minutes).Place charred peppers in a paper or plastic bag to steam for a further 10 minutes to loosen the skins.

Peel peppers, then cut a slit down the length of each and remove the seeds & membranes.

Stuff each pepper with the cheese. Secure with toothpicks to hold the peppers closed. Using heavy foil, wrap the peppers so that a packet is formed that will hold in any juices.

Grill the packet until heated through (about 10 minutes).

Allow packet to cool for 5 minutes. This will give the cheese time to harden us and make the peppers easier to handle. Remove toothpicks and serve warm.

Serves 4.
