Use this Savory Cream Cheese filling to stuff Green Peppers or even as a dip. It makes an excellent appetizer! My husband thought this was excellent as did my 4 year old grandson! If you love Green Peppers and Cream Cheese this is a win-win for you!

Ingredients

  • 2 small green or red peppers
  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (or cheddar cheese)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 Tbsp fresh chopped chives (or parsley)
  • Pinch of cayenne, optional

Directions

  1. Rinse peppers and dry them with a paper towel.
  2. With a sharp knife, slice the top off (stem end) of the peppers.
  3. Cut the stem out of the top piece then finely chop the small top pieces that are left and set aside.
  4. Carefully clean out the large section of the green pepper, removing the seeds and membranes. I used a spoon to do this.
  5. In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and heavy cream with a large spoon.
  6. Add the Parmesan cheese, paprika and cayenne pepper, if used. Mix thoroughly with a spoon.
  7. Add the chives and finely chopped pieces of green pepper, mix well with the spoon.
  8. Place the filling into the green peppers pressing to remove all of the air gaps.
  9. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  10. Remove plastic wrap and slice thin so the pepper forms a ring and the cream cheese filling is inside the pepper ring then serve.

    • That is the best thing you could have said to me. I try to post the recipes and step by step instructions so anyone, even beginners, can make the recipe. I have to look at my post 2-3 times and make changes because after all these years it is automatic when I cook. There is nothing worse than following a recipe and not knowing every detail then giving up! So thank you!

  11. What a great idea. I’ll use this next time I’m making a cream cheese dip.
    Have you ever tried fried stuffed jalapeños. The filling is similar to this, then they’re battered and quickly deep fried. Very hot, but appealing to those with an appetite for hot.
