BABY BELL PEPPERS WITH FETA AND MINT

MINI STUFFED PEPPERS
Think jalapeno poppers but healthier and you control the heat. I wanted to keep it light and vegetarian but feel free to add crumbled cooked turkey bacon to the mix, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds. Arrange the peppers on the prepared baking pan cut-side up.
- Mix the cream cheese, Cheddar, bacon, Fresno pepper and milk together in a bowl until very well mixed and soft.
- Put the mixture into a resealable plastic bag (or a disposable pastry bag) and snip a corner to make an opening a little less than 1/2-inch across. Pipe a line of the cream cheese mixture into each of the peppers (the filling should not fill the whole pepper; it will spread as it cooks).
- Bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is melted, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

HERBED FETA STUFFED MINI BELL PEPPERS
I recently got two pounds of mini bell peppers at Costco, and after eating about half of them raw (yum! they're so sweet and tasty!) we got to the point where I needed to find something else to do with them. Here's what I came up with, and having just eaten one, I can assure you they're absolutely delicious! These can be either baked (which I usually do), or eaten uncooked.

Steps:
- Cut the tops off the mini bell peppers and take out the seeds and larger white veins; rinse out with water, then set aside.
- Put the crumbled feta cheese in a bowl and add the sherry; toss to coat.
- Mix together well the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl, then add the mixture to the feta cheese and toss to mix them all well.
- Spray a large casserole dish (I use a large oval white Corning Ware) with an olive oil mister or pan spray.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Stuff each mini bell pepper with the herbed feta mixture, making sure there's a good amount of feta in each pepper; place peppers in the casserole dish.
- When all peppers are stuffed, place cover on casserole dish and bake in oven for 30 to 45 minutes until peppers are nice and soft and the cheese is melted. If too much of the cheese melts out of the peppers, use a spoon to put it back in. :)
- Serve and enjoy!

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any surprises.
- Choose the right size muffin tin: For this recipe, you will need a standard 12-cup muffin tin. If you use a larger or smaller tin, the cooking time may need to be adjusted.
- Don't overfill the muffin cups: Fill the muffin cups no more than 2/3 full. Overfilling can cause the muffins to overflow and make a mess in your oven.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool before serving: This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
