Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Mini sweet peppers
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Wash and dry the mini sweet peppers. Slice each pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each mini sweet pepper half with the cheese mixture, leveling the top.
Brush the outside of each stuffed pepper lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and to add a slight char when grilled.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-375°F). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
Place the stuffed peppers on the grill, stuffed side up. Close the grill lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the peppers are softened and slightly charred, and the cheese filling is bubbly and golden.
Carefully remove the peppers from the grill using tongs and transfer to a serving plate.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
