Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Mini Sweet Peppers (mixed colors preferred)
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 4 oz Goat Cheese (plain or herb-crusted)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Chives (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced or pressed)
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional topping)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Wash the mini peppers and slice each in half lengthwise, removing seeds and membranes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, goat cheese, minced garlic, chives, and smoked paprika until smooth.
  4. Fill each pepper half with the cheese mixture, avoiding overfilling.
  5. Place the stuffed peppers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning if desired.
  6. Roast in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the peppers are softened and cheese is golden brown.
  7. Let cool for five minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Use a piping bag for filling for a cleaner presentation. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
