Sweet Pepper Garlic & Cheese Cups
Christmas is over. I hope you all enjoyed your holiday time and got some nice gifts!
Now it’s getting to the time when we say goodbye to the old 2013 and greet the new 2014. New Year’s is coming fast and I bet you have fun parties planned. Hope you get to greet the new year properly and I do hope you will have January 1st off. (It is just cruel to work on the 1st!)
I love New Year’s! Party…party…party!
For a great party, you need great drinks and great food. I have a little something here just for that reason. A creamy cheese/veggie filled pastry cups. It’s pie cups that are stuffed with cheesy filling, that’s mixed with sweet peppers and fresh garlic for extra kick.
Seriously, these are so easy, they won’t take more than 30 minutes. All you have to do is bake some pie shell cups and mix the tasty filling.
These cups are so tasty, you and your guests are sure to love it!
Sweet Pepper Garlic & Cheese Cups
Ingredients
- 2 pie dough rounds
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup minced sweet peppers
- 1/2 cup of shredded mozarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 and grease a muffin pan.
- Cut out six circles out of each pie crust round.
- Gently place the circles in each muffin cup, not too deep in or the edges might fold in. Lightly press the ripples that are touching the sides of the cup (again, to help them not fold in).
- Bake for 7-8 minutes, until golden brown. Take out the dough cups carefully and let them cool.
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, minced sweet peppers, cheese, pressed garlic and salt. Mix until all thoroughly incorporated.
- Divide the cheese filling among the cups. Be gentle!
