Step By Step Instructions
Begin by draining 30 jarred cherry peppers, ensuring to save 2 tablespoons of the liquid from the jar. Next add 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 2 oz of softened Mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup of sour cream, 2 oz of finely crumbled feta cheese, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of the reserved liquid, and the oil from the jarred peppers to a food processor. Blend the ingredients on high until smooth. You can also do this by hand by mashing the ingredients together with a fork until the ingredients are well-combined and the mixture is creamy. Taste the cheese mixture for seasoning and adjust as needed. If desired, add more salt, pepper, or additional liquid from the jar to enhance the flavor and consistency of the filling. Transfer the cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Alternatively, you can use a resealable plastic bag and snip off a small corner for piping. Gently squeeze the piping bag to fill each cherry pepper with the cheese mixture. Start from the bottom of the pepper and continue until it’s filled. Repeat with the remaining peppers. After stuffing all the peppers, arrange them on a serving platter, or store in an airtight container if you don’t plan to serve them right away. To enhance the flavors and allow the cheese to firm up, refrigerate the stuffed cherry peppers for a minimum of 30 minutes. Serve the stuffed cherry peppers as an appetizer or snack. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with antipasto or bread. Erren’s Kitchen is written and produced for informational intentions only.
