The cream cheese filling helps tame the heat from the peppers in this fun appetizer. Or serve as a side to any grilled entrée. The peppers can be prepped up to 1 day ahead and grilled just before serving. If your peppers won’t sit flat, cut a small slice off the bottoms to prevent them from falling over. Smoked paprika deepens the smoky flavor of this spicy dish, but when garnishing, remember a little goes a long way.
