Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the stem end off each mini pepper and scoop out seeds with a small spoon.

  2. Step 2

    Mix cream cheese, cheddar, and parsley in a small bowl until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each pepper, filling it level with the opening.

  4. Step 4

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~60 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Place peppers cut-side down in the skillet without moving them for 4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Turn peppers over and cook 2 more minutes until the skins blister and soften.

  7. Step 7

    Serve warm. The cheese will still be creamy inside, skin crispy outside.
