  1. Heat oven 350F.  Mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese and pepper until well blended.
  2. Remove shells from all packaging.
  3. Fill shells with cheese mixture and place on a baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes.
  4. Remove tray from oven and top each with a small spoonful of jam.
  5. Return to oven and bake 1 to 2 more minutes or until heated through.
