Stuffed Sweet Mini Peppers With Bread Crumbs Recipes

MINI STUFFED SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cut each pepper in half the long way, leaving stem connected (cut right through stem so each half pepper has half a stem. This will act as a handle when eating)
• With a teaspoon, scoop out seeds and discard. Peppers this small sometimes have no seeds. Line these cut side up on a parchment lined sheet pan. Set aside.
• In a small sauce pan over medium heat, cook shallots and garlic in the oil for about five minutes until somewhat soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a large bowl add goat cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, egg and dry potato. Add the now cooled shallot mixture. Stir cream cheese mixture until completely combined.
• Divide filling between the cut pepper halves using a teaspoon to fill. This step is a bit tedious. For this reason, I extended the prep time to 45 minutes.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a shallow bowl, mix panko, butter and paprika.
• Take each stuffed pepper and press the stuffing side down into the panko to coat top. Repeat for each pepper and place the peppers back on tray once coated. If the pepper does not sit flat, line them up so that they lean against each other.
• Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. The filling should be hot and the pepper just slightly cooked.
• Using a spatula, remove to a tray and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Prepare the peppers by rinsing and removing the stem. Use a coffee spoon to scrape out the seeds and membrane. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

CHEESE STUFFED MINI SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash and halve the peppers and remove the seeds. Leave the stem intact so that the cheese does not ooze out at it melts--also for the cuteness factor. Mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan together in a small bowl. I used Emeril's italian seasoned panko breadcrumbs; if you're using plain, you will want to season with salt and herbs. Using a small spoon, stuff about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoons of cheese in each pepper half; no more than half full as the cheese puffs as it bakes. Sprinkle cheese and bread crumbs on pepper halves and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes depending upon how soft you like your peppers.

AIR FRYER MINI PEPPERS STUFFED WITH CHEESE AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease; set aside.
• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut a slit in one side of each sweet pepper lengthwise from stem to tip. Brush peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place in the air fryer basket.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 3 minutes. Shake the basket and cook until peppers start to brown and soften, about 3 minutes more. Remove peppers and let stand until cool enough to handle; leave air fryer on.
• While peppers are cooling, stir together sausage, cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, blue cheese, chives, garlic, and black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Mix bread crumbs with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl.

MINI STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Rinse peppers in cold water. Using a small paring knife, carefully remove stems and seeds preserving as much of the top of the peppers as possible.
• Sauté garlic, onion and celery in a large pan with olive oil until soft. Add chicken broth to pan and increase heat too high. Turn burner off Just prior to boiling,.
• Add stuffing mix, Tuscany seasoning, parsley and shredded Italian cheeses. Mix all ingredients until well combined, softened and moist. You can adjust softness by adding more stuffing mix or chicken broth. You are now ready to stuff.
• Using surgical gloves, stuff the peppers with a teaspoon or by hand. Once all the peppers are stuffed, pierce them with a paring knife in several places. This will allow steam to escape, helping to prevent stuffing from oozing out.
• DO NOT oven bake the stuffed peppers. Cooked peppers need to soften but retain their texture. Oven baking will over cook them, destroying their flavor and texture.
• Place them in a large frying pan with an ample amount of olive oil. Over medium heat, sauté peppers on all sides, only turning them over as their surfaces begin to singe. Peppers should be softened but retain texture.
• Made too much stuffing? That's a good problem. Form the stuffing mix into a burger. Brown one side in the pan used to fry the peppers. Flip the stuffing burger and top the cooked side with more cheese. Covering pan as you brown the other side will help the cheese melt.
