Delightful mini peppers stuffed with a creamy cheese filling, perfect for snacking or as an appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 mini sweet peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat for a healthier option)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: paprika or cayenne pepper for added spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash the mini sweet peppers thoroughly and slice each one in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes carefully, ensuring the peppers remain intact.
  3. Combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
  4. Fill each half of the mini sweet peppers generously with the cheese mixture.
  5. Arrange the stuffed mini peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a lightly greased baking dish.
  6. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle paprika or cayenne pepper on top of the stuffed peppers before baking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the peppers are tender.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

These mini peppers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in the oven.
