  • 1

  • 2
    Transfer jalapeno peppers on a cutting board lined with paper towel; drain for 3 minutes. Put them up so the interior drain as well.

    In a medium bowl, combine with a fork cream cheese, feta and Italian seasoning. Using an immersion blender, pulse until well mixed. Transfer cream cheese mixture into a pipping bag or a large Ziploc. Place a pepper in a shot glass and fill it up. Transfer them to a container and top with about 1/3 of olive oil and 2/3 with grapeseed oil. Cover and transfer to the fridge for 48 hours before serving.
