Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 12 mini sweet peppers
• 8 oz goat cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (if roasting).
2. In a bowl, mix the softened goat cheese and cream cheese until creamy and well combined.
3. Add in the chopped chives, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, mixing until well incorporated.
4. Slice the mini sweet peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
5. Fill each pepper half with the herbed goat cheese mixture, making sure to pack it in nicely.
6. (Optional) Place the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until slightly softened.
7. Serve immediately or chill and serve cold. Enjoy!

Notes

Note: For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.

For an extra flavor boost, consider roasting the peppers for a few minutes before stuffing them. This enhances their sweetness and adds a lovely charred aroma. If goat cheese isn’t your favorite, feel free to substitute with cream cheese or feta.

To store, keep the stuffed peppers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature. For serving, drizzle with a little balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of additional herbs for a burst of freshness!
