Ingredients
- 24 pieces Cherry peppers
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (gluten-free)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, gluten-free)
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Wash the cherry peppers and carefully cut off the tops. Remove the seeds and membranes with a small spoon or paring knife to create a hollow cavity. Set the peppers aside.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Use a small spoon or piping bag to stuff each cherry pepper with the cheese mixture, filling them just to the brim.
Step 5
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Roll the open end of each stuffed pepper in the breadcrumbs to form a thin coating across the top.
Step 6
Arrange the stuffed cherry peppers on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil to help with browning.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be served warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack.
