Submitted by lazyme

"This dish is rather spicy with 2 poblano chilies, so if you don't like spicy, halve the peppers. From the Presidio Grill in Tucsan, AZ."

Sorry but this isn't the original recipe from Presidio Grill in Tucson, Az Close, but the execution is wrong

A family favorite. I think I first got this recipe from Bon Appetit magazine. I use red or green peppers with a couple dashes of red pepper flakes as opposed to the hot peppers. You can also substitute thin sliced ham from the Deli, or bacon, for the prosciutto--though I would make it with the prosciutto the first time around so you can get the feel for the recipe. Great summer meal!!!
