Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole Cherry peppers
- 150 grams Feta cheese
- 50 grams Cream cheese
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the cherry peppers by slicing off the tops and removing the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or your fingers. Rinse and pat them dry.
In a mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese and cream cheese. Use a fork to mash them together until smooth.
Grate the garlic clove into the cheese mixture.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the mixture along with salt and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each cherry pepper with the cheese mixture, pressing gently to ensure they are well packed.
Place the stuffed peppers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them lightly with olive oil.
Broil the stuffed peppers in the oven on high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the tops start to turn golden and the peppers are slightly softened.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
