Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash and halve the peppers and remove the seeds. Leave the stem intact so that the cheese does not ooze out at it melts--also for the cuteness factor. Mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan together in a small bowl. I used Emeril's italian seasoned panko breadcrumbs; if you're using plain, you will want to season with salt and herbs. Using a small spoon, stuff about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoons of cheese in each pepper half; no more than half full as the cheese puffs as it bakes. Sprinkle cheese and bread crumbs on pepper halves and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes depending upon how soft you like your peppers.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for small, sweet peppers with thin skins, such as mini bell peppers or shishito peppers.
- Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Make sure to keep the tops, as you will use them to cover the peppers after stuffing them.
- Use a variety of fillings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to fillings for cheese-stuffed mini sweet peppers. Some popular options include cream cheese, goat cheese, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese. You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as cooked meats, vegetables, or herbs.
- Be careful not to overstuff the peppers: You want the peppers to be full, but not so full that they burst open. If you are using a soft cheese, such as cream cheese, be especially careful not to overstuff the peppers, as it can easily ooze out.
- Bake the peppers until they are tender: The baking time will vary depending on the size of the peppers and the filling that you are using. However, as a general rule, the peppers should be baked for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and the filling is melted and bubbly.
Conclusion:
Cheese-stuffed mini sweet peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a side dish. With so many different variations possible, you are sure to find a recipe that you and your guests will love.
