Ingredients

– 12 mini sweet peppers
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

Creating Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers is simple and can be broken down into straightforward steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers: Rinse the mini peppers and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes carefully.
3. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and chopped green onions. Mix until well-blended and smooth.
4. Stuff the Peppers: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each half of the mini peppers with the cream cheese mixture. Pack it in generously for the best flavor.
5. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are arranged in a single layer for even cooking.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the peppers are tender.
7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs or an extra sprinkle of cheese.
