Mini-Cheesey Pepper Bites




Super-easy snack/appetizer. I had it for lunch today; the first time I made it to take to a friends house for game night.




Start with Mini Bell Peppers and Mozzarella String Cheese.
Or you can use cheese blocks or shredded cheese. String cheese requires less prep than the blocks, and shredded cheese can get messy; so I like string cheese best.




Wash the peppers. 




Cut off the tops.


Split them down the center.


Cut the cheese! (Sorry, I had to). Cheese slices should be about 1/2 inch. 


Stuff the cheese into the pepper halves, put on a baking sheet, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.


Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.


Pop them into the oven, 20 minutes at 350ยบ.


Ta-Dah! Let them cool slightly before serving, but remove from the pan while they are warm. Some of them may have tipped over, some cheese may have overflowed, that's fine. It's easier to get the cheese off the pan before it's cooled down too much. 


Serve and enjoy!
