Name: Stuffed Pepperoncinis

Yield: about 4 dozen.
Cuisine: Italian Appetizers, Italian Recipes
Ingredients: 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese; 1 medium tomato, cut into wedges; 1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained; 1/2 cup chopped pepperoni; 1/4 cup chopped salami; 1/4 cup cubed fully cooked ham; 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese; 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack or pepper Jack cheese; 1/4 cup zesty Italian salad dressing; 2 jars (24 ounces each) pepperoncini, drained; Additional grated Parmesan cheese

To reduce some of the juice in these spicy appetizers, I drain the pepperoncinis for about 3 hours on paper towel before stuffing. This recipe makes a big batch, which is perfect for parties.
