Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 lb Mini Peppers * about one bag
- ¼ cup Hummus you may have some leftover
- ¼ cup Mozzarella *
Instructions
- Cut the tops of the peppers off, discard the stems.
- Carefully slice a little slit in the peppers length wise. This will help to spread the ingredients in the peppers and keep the ingredients from overflowing out of the top of the pepper.
- With a butter knife, stuff peppers with about a dime size of hummus. A little goes a long way, try to spread it around the pepper as best as you can. Next, stuff the peppers with chopped cheese of choice.
- Lay peppers onto a sprayed piece of foil on a cooking sheet or into your air fryer. Be sure the slit side is facing up so they don't spill out all over. Gently place them in the oven on broil high for about 10 minutes or on 375 in the air fryer for 8 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
* Any hummus will work. You can also use cream cheese, onion dip or something thick and spreadable
*Any cheese will work. Feta and goat cheese are also delicious.
*These will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before eating!
