This one got a lot of "Likes"
This is a simple and yummy appetizer that you can make when you are running short on time, and it looks so pretty...
I bought a bag of mini sweet peppers at Sam's Club over in Shreveport a while back. I wasn't sure what I was going to use them for but they were so darn cute I couldn't resist!
What I ended up doing was stuffing and roasting them for a quick appetizer. Now, this was a total experiment and I now know what I would do different.
You can take the awesome and easy route and buy marinated mozzarella balls to stuff these darlings with...and then the flavor will be there instantly...or you can marinate your own cheese in olive oil, red wine vinegar, basil, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic and a dash of sea salt. If you marinate your own, make sure you let it sit in the fridge over night, at least.
Then I roasted them in the oven at 350 until they just began to soften. I had some issues with the cheese running out...so I recommend a rack that you can stand the peppers up in. You can use the little tops as a garnish if you wish :)
I put some festive toothpicks in each one after plating them.
Have fun with it!
