Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers

Feta and cream cheese in mini peppers makes for a clean appetizer, both on the eyes and palate

Cheese stuffed mini peppers: this is such a clean and simple little dish that works not only as a beautiful and tasty appetizer or snack, but also as a low-carb accompaniment to something like eggs or other vegetables.

Try cheese stuffed peppers with eggs for breakfast

Simply combine some feta cheese, some cream cheese (I used neufchatel cheese), a little garlic power, and a few drops of lemon juice.

Just let your food processor do all the work here…I ran the food processor for at least five minutes, scraping the bowl a couple of times to assure that all the cheeses were well blended.  I would think that a blender would work for this job also, although I haven’t tried it.

You’ll end up with a light and fluffy cheese mixture that looks and tastes great on these crunchy almost-sweet mini peppers.  My guess is that this cheese mixture also would look and taste awesome on some sauteed mushroom caps.

The chopped chives make for a nice added touch, don’t you think?

Feta stuffed peppers work for breakfast too

I chowed down on some of these cheese stuffed mini peppers with scrambled eggs for a satisfying low-carb breakfast.

You can keep any leftover cheese mixture in the fridge, then just warm it up to room temperature, and savor it on your freshly sliced mini peppers, or whatever veggies you might have on hand.
