The recipe:

·          

     Filling

o    Breakstone's 2%, low sodium cottage cheese, 0.5 cup

o    Parmesan Cheese, grated, 1 tbsp

o    Scallions, raw, 1 tbsp chopped

o    Garlic, 1 clove

o    Salt, pepper and other spices to taste

·         Breading

o    1 egg yolk

o    .25 cup Bread crumbs

·         Jalapeno Peppers, 6 peppers

o    Slice in half length wise

o    Empty seeds

The method:

Measure the cottage and Parmesan cheese, press the garlic (or mince), chop the scallions finely and mix it all together in a bowl. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and get rid of all the seeds and white areas (that's where most of the hotness is - leave some seeds if you want them to burn your face off)

Stuff the peppers with the mixture. Coat the stuffed peppers in egg yolk then dip them in the bread crumbs. Place breaded peppers on a foil lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 25 mins or until the peppers are soft and the breading is crispy.

TIP: Use this same stuffing to make stuffed mushrooms, spread on a whole grain bagel or as a spread on sandwiches!
