Bite-Sized Flavor: Stuffed Pepper Appetizers

A Delicious Twist on Classic Flavors

Imagine a flavor explosion in every bite – that’s what these one-bite stuffed pepper appetizers promise. With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll be indulging in a taste sensation that’s both elegant and effortless.

The Perfect Combination

At the heart of this recipe lies the harmonious union of creamy goat cheese, crunchy marcona almonds, and sweet Peppadew peppers. To elevate the experience, serve with a glass of dry rosé or a Barcelona-style gin and tonic.

Make-Ahead Magic

These appetizers can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your gathering. Simply sprinkle with oregano, black pepper, and drizzle with olive oil just before serving.

Gather Your Ingredients

• 4 ounces chèvre (fresh goat cheese), at room temperature
• 15 to 20 Peppadew peppers, halved
• 1/2 cup marcona almonds
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• Freshly ground black pepper

Assembly Required

1. Arrange the peppers on a serving platter.
2. Fill each pepper with goat cheese using a spoon or a zipper-top plastic bag with the corner clipped.
3. Set an almond into each pepper, sprinkling the rest on the plate.
4. Just before serving, sprinkle with oregano leaves and black pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.

Tips and Variations

• If you can’t find Spanish marcona almonds, simply roast raw, skinned almonds with a little olive oil and coarse salt until golden.
• Find Peppadews at the olive bar of well-stocked markets or in the grocery aisle next to jarred olives.

Enjoy your deliciously easy and flavorful stuffed pepper appetizers!
