Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet mini peppers (about 12–14 peppers), halved lengthwise and seeded
- 6 oz creamy goat cheese (chèvre), softened
- 2 oz cream cheese or ricotta
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano or basil, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
- Fresh ground black pepper & flaky salt
Directions
1
Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Mix the filling
In a bowl, mash together goat cheese, cream cheese, kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, garlic, and freshly cracked black pepper.
3
Stuff the peppers
Spoon the filling evenly into each pepper half. Arrange on the baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
4
Bake until tender
Bake for 15 minutes until peppers are tender-crisp and cheese is warm and lightly golden on top. Finish with flaky salt.
💡 CHEF'S PRO TIPS
- Leave the stem ends attached when slicing peppers in half lengthwise for an attractive presentation handle.
- Drizzle with a touch of balsamic glaze right before serving for gourmet flair.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
