Wash and dry the mini bell peppers. Slice each pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes, creating small, hollow halves.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each mini bell pepper half with the herbed feta mixture. Be generous but avoid overfilling.
Arrange the stuffed mini bell peppers on a serving platter. If desired, garnish with additional chopped herbs or a drizzle of olive oil for presentation.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
