Mini Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Description
This Mini Stuffed Peppers Recipe uses small bell peppers or a mix with jalapeños, halved lengthwise and seeded. The hollowed halves are filled with a garlic and herb seasoned goat cheese blend to provide a creamy, flavorful center. A drizzle of honey before baking adds a subtle sweetness that contrasts with the slightly savory and tangy cheese.
By baking at 400°F for about 10 minutes, the peppers soften but keep some of their crispness. The cheese starts to warm and meld with the pepper for a satisfying texture and flavor combination. The peppers can also be sprinkled with salt or optionally garnished with fresh herbs to enhance aroma and visual appeal.
These stuffed peppers work well as party appetizers or a light side dish. They can be adapted with other toppings like crumbled bacon, smoked paprika, balsamic glaze, or toasted nuts for varied flavors and textures.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds bell peppers or a mix of mini bell peppers and jalapeños, mini
- 12 ounces goat cheese garlic and herb seasoned
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut all the peppers in half lengthwise and remove any seeds. Lay them cut-side-up on the baking sheet. Spoon the seasoned goat cheese into the center of each pepper half.
- Lightly drizzle the peppers with honey, and sprinkle with salt if desired. You can also garnish them with fresh herbs if you like, but it's not necessary. Bake for 10 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
- Use garlic and herb seasoned goat cheese for a flavorful filling without extra seasoning.
- Peppers can be a mix of mini bell peppers and jalapeños for mild heat variation.
- Optional garnishes include herbs, crumbled bacon, smoked paprika, balsamic glaze, or toasted nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve warm shortly after baking for best texture and flavor.
