Grilled Sweet Mini Peppers Stuffed with Cheesy Chive Delight

Ingredients

- 16 sweet mini peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon canola oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Grill:
- Preheat your charcoal grill to medium heat. Create a two-zone fire by piling coals on one side for direct heat, leaving the other side for indirect heat.

2. Prepare the Peppers:
- Wash and dry the sweet mini peppers. Cut each pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds and membrane, keeping the stems intact for aesthetic appeal.

3. Make the Stuffing:
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped chives. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
- Season the cheesy mixture with salt and mix thoroughly.

4. Stuff the Peppers:
- Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each halved pepper generously with the cheese mixture.

5. Oil and Season the Peppers:
- In a separate bowl, combine extra-virgin olive oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil.
- Brush the outside of each stuffed pepper with the oil mixture to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

6. Grill the Peppers:
- Place the stuffed peppers directly over the charcoal for about 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear.
- Move the peppers to the indirect heat side, cover the grill, and allow them to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is lightly golden.

7. Serve:
- Remove the peppers from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a delicious snack!
