Mini Peppers With Whipped Feta Recipe
Crunchy, fresh mini peppers, filled with creamy whipped feta. A wonderful combination for a light and clean summer snack or appetizer. Only four very easy to find main ingredients!
I’ll be honest, I’ve been obsessed with these lately! Plus they remind me of my childhood!
Where do I begin? The whipped feta cheese… Feta cheese is a staple in Bulgarian cuisine and of course a staple in my kitchen. Combining salty feta cheese with a little bit of cream cheese in a food processor and then blending until smooth makes a great dip (or filling).
Whipped Feta Cheese
It is really easy to make and comes together in minutes. Then you can dip some fresh veggies in it, spread it over toast of like I did – fill colorful mini peppers, sliced in half with it.
Whipped Feta Filled Mini Bell Peppers
This is a light snack, that could easily turn into a great appetizer. Summer is here and I’m constantly trying to reduce the amount of time I spend in the kitchen (and in front of the computer), so simple appetizers like these mini peppers with whipped feta are perfect for me.
And as I mentioned before – these remind me of my childhood, which is always good! My great grandmother used to stuff crunchy sweet peppers from her garden with crumbled feta and give it to us as a snack! They tasted so good!

Hey Nagi, I’m glad you like it! Hope the recipe works for you, too! You can add some Greek yogurt, depending on what you use the recipe for. For stuffing veggies, it is best to use just cream cheese, so it stays thick 🙂

I’ve never had whipped feta before, but it sounds amazing! It’s bad enough that I will sneak a big ol’ spoon full of cream cheese from time to time, but combine it with feta… I just may eat the entire tub 😉 Such a great idea to stuff the mini peppers, they must have a wonderful crunch to contrast!
I’m glad you like the idea Kathleen! These two go very well together!
