I’m always looking for fresh new appetizer and snack ideas. These little two-bite treasures are the perfect appetizer for any gathering from a casual family get-together to a more formal wedding shower or baby shower. I even love them as an addition to my brunch menu.

Why this recipe works

  • The par-baked peppers make them soft enough to bite, while still having a slight crunch.
  • The creaminess from the cream cheese with the bold garlic herb flavors from the Boursin cheese blend perfectly.
  • The cheese melts for a smooth creamy texture but is not stringy like some melted cheese.
  • The fresh parsley makes these little peppers taste like they are garden fresh.

What goes into this recipe?

VISUAL SHOWING ALL OF THE BOURSIN STUFFED MINI PEPPERS INGREDIENTS
  • Miniature Bell Peppers – These mini peppers are available at grocery stores and come in small to large-sized bags.
  • Boursin Cheese – This cheese spread comes in many flavors and is also available at most grocery stores. I used the Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor which is filled with garlic, parsley, and chives.
  • Cream Cheese – Be sure to bring the cream cheese to room temperature so it’s creamy and mixes easily.
  • Panko Crumbs – I used plain unseasoned panko crumbs.
  • Fresh Parsley – For garnish – Don’t be shy about using fresh herbs as a garnish. Not only do they make the dish look good but they really add a lot of freshness.

How to make this recipe

Boursin Stuffed Mini Peppers are so easy to make. You literally just assemble and bake.

  • Photo 1: Start by washing, slicing, and removing the seeds from the peppers. Next, roast the peppers for 7-10 minutes just to make them a bit softer.
  • Photo 2: While the peppers are roasting, mix together the cream cheese and Boursin cheese
  • Photo 3: When the peppers are cool enough to handle, stuff them with the cheese mixture.
  • Photo 4: Sprinkle a bit of Panko on top of each cheese-filled pepper and spritz them lightly with olive oil. Then they go back in the oven on broil for another quick bake.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips For Making Boursin Stuffed Mini Peppers

  • To make these Boursin Stuffed Mini Peppers ahead of time, prep the peppers and par-bake them. Let them cool completely, stuff them with the cheese and place them on a baking sheet, cover them lightly with plastic wrap, and place them in the refrigerator. Take them out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before you are ready to broil them so they are at room temperature. Add the Panko topping, broil, and serve.
  • You can freeze unopened Boursin cheese for up to 3 months. To thaw, place the frozen box of cheese in the refrigerator, unopened for 24 hours.
  • I recommend using the block-style cream cheese and definitely not whipped cream cheese for this recipe.
  • I like the rustic look of this appetizer but if you want to make it fancier, place the cheese mixture in a pastry bag with a fancy tip and pipe the cheese into the peppers.

Bell Pepper FAQs

How do I know I’ve chosen the best bell pepper?

When selecting any type of bell pepper, make sure the skin is shiny, smooth, firm, and not cracked. Avoid peppers they have wrinkled skin.

What’s the difference between a large bell pepper and a mini bell pepper?

It’s all about the sweetness with mini bell peppers which are sometimes called mini sweet peppers. The texture is just the same as a larger bell pepper but they are sweeter and have fewer seeds. I also find that the ribs of the peppers are much thinner and easier to remove.

Why are bell peppers different colors?

Green bell peppers are the most tart and they are picked the earliest making them young peppers. The longer the pepper stays on the vine, the color changes from green to yellow to orange to red. And that is the exact order of the sweetness of the peppers.
