Crab-and-Cheese-Stuffed Mini Peppers image

Sweet crab, creamy cheese and crunchy mini peppers come together for a super simple appetizer that will be a guaranteed crowd pleaser at your next event.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 to 14 sweet mini peppers
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 ounces flavored cream cheese (such as scallion, chive and onion or garlic and herb), at room temperature
8 ounces fresh lump or jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Cut the peppers lengthwise and remove the stems, seeds and ribs. If needed, trim a small amount off the bottom of each pepper half so that it will lie flat when cut-side up (making them steady is important so the filling stays intact during baking). Chop the trimmings into small pieces and set aside.
  • Toss the pepper halves in a medium bowl with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Set aside.
  • Stir together the softened cream cheese and reserved pepper trimmings in another medium bowl until smooth. Gently fold in the crabmeat and season with salt and pepper.
  • Fill each pepper half with about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture so it comes over the top of the pepper slightly. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the filling is beginning to brown, about 18 minutes. Serve warm.

  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will help to enhance the flavor of your appetizers. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcook the crabmeat: Crabmeat is a delicate seafood, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it just until it is heated through, or it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve immediately: Crabmeat appetizers are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that they are at their best flavor and texture.
