  • 4 poblano peppers large
  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into each poblano pepper half.

Notes

For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to allow for easier blending with the other ingredients. Additionally, you can adjust the level of spiciness by choosing milder or spicier poblano peppers, and if desired, you can add cooked and crumbled bacon to the filling for extra flavor.
