Description

These Mini Bell Pepper Carrots are a delightful and visually appealing appetizer, perfect for parties or light snacks. Featuring orange mini sweet peppers filled with a creamy blend of Boursin cheese, Parmesan, and green onions, topped with fresh dill to mimic carrot tops, this no-cook recipe is quick to prepare and sure to impress.

Ingredients

Cheese Filling

  • 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese (your favorite flavor)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ⅛ cup finely chopped green onions

Veggies and Garnish

  • 12 mini sweet orange peppers (about 2-3 inches each, halved, seeds removed)
  • 24 fresh dill fronds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the Boursin cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and finely chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until smooth. If the mixture is too stiff to stir easily, add a splash of milk or water to loosen it slightly.
  2. Prep Peppers: Cut the tops off the mini sweet orange peppers, then halve them lengthwise. Remove all seeds and membranes carefully to create clean pepper halves.
  3. Arrange Peppers: Place the pepper halves cut-side up on a large serving platter, evenly spaced to allow for filling.
  4. Add Dill Toppers: Lay one fresh dill frond at the top end of each pepper half to represent the carrot’s leafy top.
  5. Stuff Peppers: Spoon the prepared cheese mixture into each pepper half, securing the dill frond in place as you fill.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the stuffed peppers until ready to serve. They can be made ahead of time for convenience.

Notes

  • Use orange mini bells to create the visual effect of carrots; other colors will not achieve the same look.
  • If the cheese mixture is too firm, adding a little milk or water will help achieve a smoother consistency for easier filling.
  • These can be prepared several hours in advance and kept chilled until serving.
  • For a different flavor profile, try using herb-flavored Boursin or adding a pinch of garlic powder to the cheese mixture.
