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: For this recipe, it's best to use mini sweet peppers that are about 2-3 inches long. They should be firm and have a vibrant color.
- Prepare the peppers properly: Before stuffing the peppers, cut off the tops and remove the seeds and ribs. Make sure to do this carefully so that the peppers remain intact.
- Make sure the filling is well-seasoned: The cheese filling should be flavorful and well-seasoned. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and cheese that you enjoy. You can also add some cooked vegetables or meat to the filling for extra flavor.
- Stuff the peppers carefully: When stuffing the peppers, be careful not to overfill them. The filling should be packed tightly, but not so tightly that the peppers burst.
- Bake the peppers until tender: The peppers should be baked until they are tender and the filling is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Conclusion:
Cheese-stuffed mini sweet peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a quick and tasty meal. With a variety of fillings to choose from, you can customize this recipe to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a fun and flavorful dish, give cheese-stuffed mini sweet peppers a try!
