Ingredients

  • 12 whole mini sweet peppers
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sharp cheddar, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

    Cut the stem end off each mini pepper and scoop out seeds with a small spoon.

  2. 2

    Mix cream cheese, cheddar, and parsley in a small bowl until combined.

  3. 3

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each pepper, filling it level with the opening.

  4. 4

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~60 seconds.

  5. 5

    Place peppers cut-side down in the skillet without moving them for 4 minutes.

    Turn peppers over and cook 2 more minutes until the skins blister and soften.
