Servings: 8 people
Calories: 59kcal
Ingredients
- 2 bell peppers preferably red or yellow
- 7 ounces cream cheese low-fat, softened
- 2 tablespoons chives diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the whole bell peppers on a baking sheet and bake for 40 - 45 minutes.
- Use tongs and immediately place in a heatproof bowl, cover and seal the top with foil or plastic wrap for 15-20 minutes. When peppers have cooled enough to handle, remove the peelings. Slice peppers in half and remove stem and seeds. Slice each pepper vertically once more, for a total of 8 slices.
- Lay each slice on a plate then pat it dry with a paper towel. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of cheese over each slice and sprinkle with chives. Roll peppers and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Tip: If there's any leftover cheese spread, enjoy on wheat crackers or as a veggie dip.
