How to Make Carrot Shaped Stuffed Peppers for Easter

Prep the Peppers

Cut the tops off each pepper and throw them away. Slice each pepper in half lengthwise. If your peppers are seedless, you’re done and can arrange them cut side up on your serving platter. If you find any seeds or membranes, use a small spoon to scrape them out before filling.

Fill the Peppers

Here’s a helpful tip: Boursin can be a bit crumbly right out of the package, so a spoon might not work best.

Use your fingers to press the cheese into each pepper, then gently run a knife across the top to remove any extra and make a clean edge. It might sound fussy, but it’s quick and looks much neater than using a spoon.

Add the Dill

Gently press a small sprig of fresh dill into the top of each filled pepper, with the pointed end down into the cheese so it stands up. That’s your carrot top. Take a moment to admire your work—these really are adorable. Serve right away or cover and refrigerate until you’re ready.

Tips for the Best Stuffed Mini Peppers

Look for seedless mini peppers in particular. Many grocery stores carry them, and the bag will say seedless on the label. This really speeds up the prep.

Boursin comes in several flavors, and both shallot and chive or garlic and fine herbs taste great in this recipe. The shallot and chive is a bit milder, while garlic and fine herbs has a bolder flavor. Either one works well.

Getting Ahead on Easter Prep

You can fill the peppers up to a day ahead and keep them covered in the fridge. Store the dill separately and add it just before serving so it stays fresh and bright. Don’t leave filled peppers out at room temperature for long, since Boursin is a soft cheese and should stay cold.
