I love to cook, and I've recently discovered  faccc which has already provided me with some nifty recipes I want to try, so I figured I'd contribute as well.

This is a good summertime treat for when you're out in the backyard grilling, and they're really easy to make!

**Recipe by Bobby Flay, but  skorzy has modified it a little bit. He doesn't add as much filling per pepper (otherwise it becomes just a gob of cheese, which while it sounds like a good idea, its better with less), it says to use white cheddar cheese but we've used yellow before and the only real difference is the color. Extra sharp cheese is best. You can use neufchatel instead of cream cheese if you want to cut down on a little bit of the fat. It tastes the same because there's so much other stuff going on you can't tell the difference (we've tried it both ways). Grill it until its dark and blistered on the bottom, but be careful, they get slippery when they're on the grill! Picking them up with a slotted wooden spoon as opposed to tongs would probably be easier.

Recipe as follows:
4oz Cream cheese at room temp
2oz Soft goat cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
2 green onions (pale and pale green parts) thinly sliced
salt and black pepper
12 large jalapeno peppers. Halved lengthwise, stemmed and seeded, remove membranes (would advise you to wear gloves during this process)
1 heaping Tbsp ancho chili powder


1. Heat grill to medium
2. Whisk together the cream cheese and goat cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in the cheddar and green onions; season with salt and pepper. Fill
each jalapeno half with about 2 Tbsp. of the mixture; sprinkle the top with ancho powder.
3. Place jalapenos on the grill, filling-side-up, and cook until slightly charred and tender, about 8-10 minutes.

We've also considered using bacon bits in the cheese mixture, because everything is better with bacon. Haven't tried it yet though. On top of taking the seeds out of the peppers, grilling them kind of mutes their heat so you get that good jalapeno flavor without too much spiciness, so for those of you who don't like spicy, we've tested these on our friends with a New England palate and they love them XD

Enjoy!
