All you need to make these delicious morsels are some fresh jalapeños, a brick of cream cheese, and a package of prosciutto.

Slice the jalapeños down the center and carefully remove the seeds. I’ve learned to wear gloves for this part so that I don’t end up with the jalapeño seeds and juices soaked into my skin. Once seeded, I rinse off and dry off the jalapeño halves.

Soften the cream cheese a little ahead of time and then fill each half jalapeño it. It doesn’t have to look pretty at this point!

Wrap each jalapeño half with one thin slice of prosciutto, or if they are too large you may need to use an extra half slice of prosciutto to ensure they are fully covered.

Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the prosciutto is nicely browned.  Broil for a minute to crisp up the prosciutto if needed.
