Vegetarian Poppers
Ingredients:
- 6 Organic Mini Sweet Peppers
- 4 Jalapeno Peppers
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 5 Morning Star Vegetarian Links
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice the mini sweet peppers and jalapeños in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes. Leave the stems intact if you'd like little handles for serving.
3. Cook the MorningStar vegetarian sausage links according to package directions. Allow to cool slightly, then finely chop or crumble.
4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and chopped vegetarian sausage. Stir until evenly incorporated.
5. Spoon the cream cheese mixture generously into each pepper half, pressing it gently into the cavities.
6. Arrange the stuffed peppers on the prepared baking sheet, filling side up.
7. Bake for approximately 18–22 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the cream cheese filling is hot and lightly golden on top.
8. For a little extra color, switch the oven to broil for the final minute or two, keeping a close eye on them.
9. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. The sweet peppers are perfect for folks who prefer things mild, while the jalapeños bring a little attitude to the party!
All the goodness of traditional sausage-stuffed jalapeño poppers, without the meat. Perfect for game day, appetizers or simply because you have a bunch of peppers that need using!
