Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces cherry peppers
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup bacon bits
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the cherry peppers thoroughly and slice off the tops. Carefully remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or a cherry corer to hollow them out.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, bacon bits, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, stuff each cherry pepper with the cheese mixture, filling them to the top.
Place the stuffed cherry peppers upright on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil lightly over all the peppers to help with roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese filling is melted and bubbly.
Allow the peppers to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
