Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Slice the mini peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds then arrange them cut side up on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil.
In a bowl combine cream cheese mozzarella parmesan green onions garlic salt and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly blended for a creamy filling.
Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into each pepper half making sure not to overfill so the cheese does not spill while baking.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the peppers are tender and the filling is set. For extra color broil for 1 to 2 minutes while watching closely.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra green onions if desired for added freshness.

Notes

Use peppers of similar size for even cooking.
Let cream cheese soften for easier mixing.
Avoid overbaking to keep peppers tender.
