Stuffed mini peppers (especially cheesy ones) are such an easy appetizer to throw together and are always a crowd-pleaser. In my opinion, pimento cheese is infinitely better when it’s served warm, and a small pepper becomes the perfect vessel for it in this recipe. These are a really good vegetarian alternative to a jalapeño popper, so everyone can enjoy them at your game day or party spread. Mini peppers are sweet, so you don’t have to worry about the random super-hot jalapeño popping up.
These only need a quick bake in the oven to get the cheese melty and warmed through. Because the peppers are so small, we want them to retain a bit of texture and bite. This makes these mini peppers a great appetizer to serve when you don’t have a ton of time on your hands. Similarly, the pimento mixture can be made up to 2 days ahead to make the prep even easier.
