Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Cherry peppers
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the cherry peppers and carefully cut off the tops. Remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or knife to create hollow cavities in each pepper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, stuff each cherry pepper with the cheese mixture, packing it tightly but leaving a small space at the top.
Place the stuffed cherry peppers upright in a baking dish. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the top of the peppers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the stuffing is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
