Baked Prosciutto-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

4 ounces fresh goat cheese

1 ounce grated parmesan cheese

¼ cup finely chopped scallion greens

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

6 jalapeño peppers

3 ounces (12 slices) prosciutto

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then coat it with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses, scallion greens and lemon zest.

Halve the jalapeños lengthwise and carefully remove the ribs and seeds (wear rubber gloves if necessary to protect your hands). Stuff each half with the cheese mixture, being sure to use all of the cheese mixture.

Wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each stuffed jalapeño half, overlapping the ends of the prosciutto on the bottom of the jalapeño. Arrange the poppers on the prepared baking sheet, then bake on the oven's center rack until the prosciutto is slightly crispy, about 15 minutes.

Serves six.
