Ingredients 

  • 8 mini baby bell peppers
  • 1 ounce of Boursin Garlic and Herbs Cheese
  • 2 ounces of cream cheese - room temperature
  • 2 TBS plan Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Fresh diced parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Wash peppers, slice them lengthwise and remove the seeds and the ribs.
  • Dry them with a paper towel.
  • Place them on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes. 
  • Remove them from the oven and let them cool. 
  • Reset the oven to broil
  • While the peppers are cooling, combine the cream cheese and the Boursin cheese until they are thoroughly mixed. 
  • When the peppers are cool enough to handle, stuff the peppers with equal amounts of the cheese mixture. 
  • Top them with equal amounts of the Panko bread crumbs spritz them with olive oil. (If you don't have an olive oil spritzer, drizzle a small amount of oil on the peppers. 
  • Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully so the Panko does not burn.
  • Remove them from the oven, place them on a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

Notes

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
  • 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.
