Ingredients

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup  freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 Anaheim or Cubanelle peppers
  • 4 baby bell peppers
  • 4 small poblano chiles
  • Extra-virgin olive oil for rubbing the peppers

Instructions

  • In a bowl, blend the ricotta with the cream cheese and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Light a grill or heat a grill pan. Using a small, sharp knife, remove the stems from the peppers and reserve. Cut around inside the peppers to detach the membranes and remove the seeds. Using a butter knife, fill the peppers with the cheese mixture and reattach the tops of the peppers. Rub the peppers with olive oil.
  • Grill the peppers over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until the peppers are blistered all over and the cheese filling is piping hot, about 7 minutes. Transfer the peppers to plates and serve.
