Cheesy Stuffed Mini Peppers
Report
These stuffed mini peppers are flavorful and easy to make. I fill them with seasoned goat cheese and briefly broil them to melt the cheese.

Ingredients
- 4 ounces soft goat cheese room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 8 mini bell peppers
- Olive oil spray extra virgin; or avocado oil
Instructions
- If your cheese is refrigerator-cold, slice it and microwave it for 30 seconds to soften.
- Place the cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and mix well with a fork.
- Set an oven rack 6 inches below the broiling element, then heat your broiler.
- Cut the mini peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stems intact. Remove the seeds and membranes.
- Spread the peppers, cut side down, on a cutting board. Spray them with olive oil, then flip them so that the cut side is up.
- Spoon the seasoned goat cheese into the peppers, using about one heaping teaspoon per half pepper. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
- Arrange the peppers in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cheese side up.
- Broil the peppers until the cheese is golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Serve immediately, or keep them in a warm (170°F) oven until your guests arrive, and up to one hour.
Notes
- You can turn this recipe into a three-ingredient recipe if you use seasoned goat cheese. I like to add my own spices to plain goat cheese, but sometimes easy is good!
- I use extra-virgin olive oil. You can use avocado oil if you prefer an oil with a higher smoke point.
- Please don't place the peppers directly under the heating element. Six inches below is best, but even then, you should keep a close eye on them to ensure they don't burn.
- You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Reheat them in the microwave at 50% power. Or enjoy them cold! They are surprisingly good straight out of the fridge.
