PREPARE

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Halve the jalapeños lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.

Place on a baking sheet cut side up. Brush lightly with olive oil.

MAKE THE CHEESE FILLING

In a bowl, mix together grated cheese and cream cheese until well combined.

FILL THE JALAPEÑOS

Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into each jalapeño half.

Gently press blueberries into the top of each pepper.

BAKE

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender, the cheese is melted and golden, and the blueberries have softened and begun to burst.
