Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or chives)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Peppers:

  • 12–15 mini bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
  • Olive oil for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mini Peppers: Wash and Cut the Peppers: Rinse the mini peppers and cut them in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and membranes.
  2. Drizzle with Olive Oil (optional): If desired, lightly drizzle the peppers with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Mix the Filling Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar (if using), sour cream, garlic powder, parsley (or chives), lemon juice (if using), and salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the filling and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
  5. Stuff the Peppers: Fill the Peppers: Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each mini pepper half, filling them generously. You can use a small spoon or a piping bag for a neater presentation.
  6. Serve: Chill (optional): For best results, refrigerate the stuffed peppers for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve: Arrange the stuffed peppers on a serving platter, drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired, and garnish with more fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for color.
