    Ingredients for bacon and goat cheese stuffed mini peppers

    This recipe is made with just a handful of fresh ingredients.

    To make bacon and goat cheese stuffed mini peppers, you need half of a dozen sweet peppers, goat cheese, honey, salt, a jalapeño, and last, but certainly not least, half a pound of cooked bacon.

    Creamy, fresh goat cheese on the block or in a log is perfect for stuffed sweet peppers.

    I used award-winning Cypress Grove goat cheese.

    To prepare the goat cheese, crumble one cup of it.

    jalapenos cut in half

    To prepare the jalapeño, remove the pith and seeds and dice it.

    I buy jalapeños in bulk and keep diced frozen jalapeños on hand for recipes like this one.

    To cook the bacon, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lay bacon on top. Cook bacon for 15 minutes, flip and cook another 10 minutes. Dice cooked bacon and set aside.

    Mix goat cheese and honey into a spread.

    Mix the salt and jalapeños in to the goat cheese filling.

    Next, set the broiler to high.

    Sprinkle bacon on top of stuffed sweet peppers.

    Then pop the bacon and goat cheese stuffed mini peppers in the broiler for 2 minutes.

    Sprinkle chopped cilantro on the top of the stuffed sweet peppers.

    Serve stuffed sweet peppers hot or at room temperature.

      I made these for Easter and all my extended family ate them. Between these mini peppers and deviled eggs I cooked, I was worried no one would be hungry for the main course! Didn’t have fancy honey so mine were made with the honey in the bear shape bottle. Will be making them again!!5 stars

    My specialty is cooking restaurant style food at home. I love to cook for family, fun, creativity & self care.

    Where to start? Get my secrets to making pizza at home and feel like a true home chef with my sous vide recipes.

    jenna passaro prepping sous vide steak

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook. And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.
