Cut jalapeños in half lengthwise, and you've got the perfect base for a savory appetizer. The pepper halves are baked until tender, then filled with a filling of Italian sausage, sautéed with onions and bell peppers, and mixed with mascarpone cheese and Parmesan. Each stuffed pepper is topped with mozzarella and baked in the oven until the cheese melts. After baking, the jalapeño's spicy flavor mellows slightly, further softened by the creamy cheese filling. This appetizer is perfect for house parties or watching the game with a glass of beer.
