Stuffed Sweet Peppers featuring Barton Auxiliary's Cheese Balls

Stuffed Sweet Peppers

Ingredients
8 Sweet Mini Peppers, seeded (red, yellow, orange colored)
4 Tbsp. Barton Auxiliary Cheese Ball
1 Tbsp. Sour Cream
1/8 tsp. Ground Cumin
1 Tbsp. Fresh Cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

• Grill or sear the peppers in a skillet over medium heat being careful to turn as each side blisters and turns slightly brown. Once done, place in a slightly greased baking dish and let cool.
• Mix the cheese ball, sour cream and spices into a small bowl. Stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture and smooth flat at the end.
• Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let slightly cool. Top with chopped cilantro, if desired, then serve.
