Ingredients

1 cup extra virgin olive oil
12 fresh cherry peppers
6 ounces sharp provolone cheese, cubed
6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Carefully slice the tops off the cherry peppers and remove the seeds while keeping the peppers intact. Wrap a cube of provolone cheese with prosciutto, and gently stuff it into each pepper. If there's still space, add more prosciutto. Repeat this process with the remaining peppers.
Arrange all the stuffed peppers in a 1-quart jar, or a jar that comfortably fits all your peppers, and sprinkle a pinch of salt over them. Pour enough olive oil to completely cover the peppers. Cover the jar and let it stand for 1 hour before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers to maintain freshness.
