Servings: 50 pieces (approx.)
Ingredients
- 1 pound mini bell peppers seeded and sliced in half lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 4 ounces sour cream
- 3 tablespoons chopped chives
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar divided
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the bell peppers. In a large bowl, toss the bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Prep-bake the peppers. If you like softer peppers, arrange the seasoned bell peppers on the baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. You can skip this step if you want more of a crunch.
- Make the filling. Stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, chives, garlic powder, and half of the cheddar cheese until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Assemble. Stuff each pepper with 2 teaspoons of the filling and re-arrange them on the baking sheet, filling-side up. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn the oven off and then turn on the broiler. Broil the peppers for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
