Ingredients
  

  • 12 mini bell peppers halved and seeds removed
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs optional for topping
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Wash and dry the mini bell peppers. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Arrange the pepper halves cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Using a spoon, fill each mini bell pepper half with the cheese mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the filling stays in place.
  • If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the stuffed peppers for a golden, crunchy topping. Drizzle the peppers lightly with olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is bubbly and slightly browned on top.
  • Remove the stuffed mini bell peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with additional parsley or chives, and serve warm.
