Ingredients
- 20 pieces cherry peppers
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup bacon bits
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the cherry peppers thoroughly and slice off the tops. Carefully remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or a cherry corer to hollow them out.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, bacon bits, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Step 4
Using a small spoon or piping bag, stuff each cherry pepper with the cheese mixture, filling them to the top.
Step 5
Place the stuffed cherry peppers upright on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil lightly over all the peppers to help with roasting.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese filling is melted and bubbly.
Step 7
Allow the peppers to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
