Ingredients
- 12 pieces Cherry peppers
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the cherry peppers. Cut off the tops and remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or knife to create a hollow shell. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Transfer the cheese mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner cut off to make filling easier.
Step 4
Carefully pipe the cheese mixture into the hollowed-out cherry peppers, filling each one generously.
Step 5
Optional: If desired, lightly char the stuffed cherry peppers by placing them under a broiler for 3–5 minutes or using a hot grill for a smoky finish.
Step 6
Arrange the stuffed peppers on a serving tray and garnish with a sprinkle of extra fresh herbs if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Allow the peppers to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
