Description

A delicious and visually appealing appetizer featuring mini bell peppers stuffed with a creamy herb mixture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1012 pieces Mini Bell Peppers (Orange) (These sweet little guys provide a fun carrot appearance.)
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese (Softened; substitute vegan cream cheese for dairy-free.)
  • 3 tbsp Sour Cream (Adds tangy flavor and keeps the filling moist.)
  • 1 unit Chopped Scallion (Introduces a mild onion flavor.)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Dill (Chopped; unique aromatic flavor.)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (Chopped; adds pop of color.)
  • ⅛ tsp Salt (Enhances all flavors.)

Instructions

  1. Wash mini bell peppers under cold water, then slice each pepper lengthwise to create halves.
  2. Gently remove seeds and white ribs from each pepper half for cleaner presentation.
  3. Combine cream cheese and sour cream in a mixing bowl. Add chopped scallion, dill, parsley, and salt. Mix until creamy.
  4. Fill each pepper half with the herb cream cheese mixture, ensuring a neat and vibrant appearance.
  5. Insert small dill fronds into the tops of each filled pepper to resemble carrot greens.
  6. Place the finished peppers on a serving platter and cover them with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Notes
