I love sweet cherry peppers! They're great in salads or for snacking – and they pack in a lot of flavor! They're usually available in mild or hot versions, and you can use either for this recipe. Make sure that you buy them whole rather than sliced.
For the filling I have used rosemary to flavor the cream cheese. I happen to love the combination of rosemary and bacon, but you could use pretty much any other herb in its place. Perhaps chives, parsley, or oregano?
How to Make Bacon-Wrapped Peppers
Prepare the filling by combining softened cream cheese, garlic paste, black pepper, and chopped fresh rosemary.
Slice the cherry peppers in half, and scoop out the seeds. Pat fry with paper towels.
Fill the cavity of each pepper half with a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.
Cut slices of bacon in half and wrap a piece round the filled pepper. Secure with a toothpick.
Fry in a non-stick skillet or cast iron skillet, turning frequently.
When the bacon is thoroughly cooked, drain any excess grease on paper towels. Try to finish the cooking with the open part of the peppers facing up to help prevent the filling from leaking.
Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.
This appetizer is a real crowd pleaser – the salty bacon, herby creamy filling, and the slight heat from the pepper. VERY moreish!
