Ingredients

  • 16 mini sweet peppers (red, yellow and orange)
  • 1 package (5.2 oz/150 g) Boursin™ cheese with garlic and fine herbs, softened
  • 4 oz/125 g (from 8-oz/250 g package) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1/2 cup plain panko crispy bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.

    Cut each sweet pepper in half lengthwise, leaving stems intact. Remove seeds and membranes. Place halved sweet peppers on pan, cut sides up.

    In small bowl, mix Boursin™ cheese, cream cheese and ground red pepper with spoon until well blended. Place cheese mixture in small resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut 1/2 inch off 1 corner of bag. Pipe mixture evenly among pepper halves, about 2 teaspoons for each pepper.

    In another small bowl, mix bread crumbs, melted butter and pepper. Sprinkle each pepper half with about 1/2 teaspoon bread crumb mixture; gently press into cheese mixture.
  • 5
    Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan cheese on each pepper. Return to oven; bake 5 to 8 minutes or until tops are brown and cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Top with chives. Serve warm.
