Description

These Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Mini Peppers are a delicious and creamy appetizer featuring tender mini bell peppers filled with a savory blend of spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, and melted cheeses.

Ingredients

Scale

Peppers

  • 12 mini bell peppers, halved and seeded

Filling

  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup chopped artichoke hearts
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even baking of the stuffed peppers.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy and flavorful filling.
  3. Stuff the mini peppers: Take each halved and seeded mini bell pepper and fill them generously with the spinach and artichoke mixture, spreading evenly to fill each cavity.
  4. Arrange for baking: Place the stuffed mini peppers on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring there is space between each for even cooking.
  5. Bake the peppers: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is bubbly and lightly golden on top.
  6. Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve the stuffed mini peppers warm as an appetizer or snack to enjoy the gooey and flavorful filling at its best.

Notes

  • You can prepare the filling a day ahead and refrigerate for convenience.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • These can be served with a dipping sauce such as ranch or marinara for extra flavor.
  • Make sure to seed the mini peppers properly to avoid bitterness.
