Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 12 mini sweet peppers
- 8 oz goat cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the mini peppers and remove the seeds carefully.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened goat cheese with parsley, chives, thyme, salt, and pepper until well blended.
- Stuff each mini pepper with the herb-infused goat cheese mixture.
- Place the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is warm and slightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven before serving.
For an extra kick, consider adding some chopped fresh jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the goat cheese mixture. If you don’t have balsamic glaze, a reduction of balsamic vinegar will work just as well.
These stuffed mini peppers can be made ahead of time; just store them in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Serve them warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
