I like things spicy, but not everyone does. I made these Sweet Pepper Poppers to bring over to our friends the other day. Even the kids could eat them. (Their kids, of course, my kids are fire eaters.)
I started with these mini sweet peppers that I found at the grocery the other day.
I cut almost all the way through the tops, and cleaned out the seeds.
Next, I mixed together 4 oz of cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and some salt and pepper.
I cut off the tip of a piping bag, and piped the cheese mixture into the peppers.
Close up the caps using the cheese to hold it closed.
I whisked egg whites until they were foamy, and dipped the poppers into the egg whites,
then into some gf bread crumbs.
It was too hot to fry these so I popped them on the grill. They'd probably have better color fried, but they sure were tasty.
Thanks for popping in and cooking with me. I'm linking these up to Gluten-Free Homemaker's Gluten-Free Wednesdays.
What a good idea! They look delicious.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea, my friend. Costco has these little peppers. I never thought of stuffing them. Cheese sounds good. I wonder what other foods would work. Rice, meat (tofu), veggies...
ReplyDeleteLove this idea, mmm spicier the better!!
ReplyDeletehmmmm, I have a huge bowl of hot banana peppers sitting on the counter...just waiting for me to figure out what to do with them. This sounds delicious! (Hopping over from Little Brick Ranch)
