35 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons fresh chives
  • 1 (8 oz) bag mini sweet peppers
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 4 oz garlic-herb spreadable cheese
  • 4 oz Gouda cheese
  • 3.5 oz cured chorizo (or pepperoni)
  • ¼ cup diced fresh red onions
  • ½ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce

Steps

    1. Chop chives; halve peppers lengthwise. Cut cream cheese and garlic-herb cheese into chunks to soften. Shred Gouda (about 1 cup).
    2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut chorizo into small chunks and place in food processor bowl; pulse until finely chopped. Add chives, cream cheese, garlic-herb cheese, Gouda, red onions, mayonnaise, and hot sauce; pulse until blended.
    3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture into each pepper half; arrange on baking sheet and bake 10–12 minutes until cheese is hot and bubbly. Serve.

    Chef's Tip: These can be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for 6–7 minutes until cheese is hot and bubbly.
