Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 pieces Baby red bell peppers
- 1 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
- 4 oz (softened) Cream cheese
- 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh dill
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the baby red bell peppers and slice off the tops. Carefully remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or paring knife to create a hollow cavity. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, parsley, dill, garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each hollowed-out red pepper with the feta herb mixture. Gently press the filling to avoid air pockets and ensure the pepper is fully stuffed.
Arrange the stuffed peppers on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the stuffing is lightly golden on top.
Remove the peppers from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a starter, side dish, or party appetizer. Enjoy!
