A delightful appetizer featuring sweet and mildly spicy piquante peppers filled with a creamy herbed cheese mixture, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
- 20 piquante peppers (Peppadew®), drained
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
