Herbed Bell Pepper Muffins Food

BELL PEPPER MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet, saute peppers in butter until tender; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and basil. Whisk the egg, egg substitute and milk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the peppers., Coat muffin cups with cooking spray; fill two-thirds full with batter. Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

• Check oven shelf position (middle) and turn onto 180°C Grease and flour muffin tray.
• Measure and sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamon, salt and pepper into a large bowl.
• Melt butter. Whisk egg. Mash and measure pumpkin. Add to beaten egg, along with melted butter. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
• Add milk to egg mixture.
• Crumble feta cheese into egg mixture. Wash, dry and finely chop oregano. Add to egg mixture.
• Make a well in dry ingredients - add egg mixture - stir lightly until just combined.

HERBED FETA STUFFED MINI BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cut the tops off the mini bell peppers and take out the seeds and larger white veins; rinse out with water, then set aside.
• Put the crumbled feta cheese in a bowl and add the sherry; toss to coat.
• Mix together well the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl, then add the mixture to the feta cheese and toss to mix them all well.
• Spray a large casserole dish (I use a large oval white Corning Ware) with an olive oil mister or pan spray.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stuff each mini bell pepper with the herbed feta mixture, making sure there's a good amount of feta in each pepper; place peppers in the casserole dish.
• When all peppers are stuffed, place cover on casserole dish and bake in oven for 30 to 45 minutes until peppers are nice and soft and the cheese is melted. If too much of the cheese melts out of the peppers, use a spoon to put it back in. :)
• Serve and enjoy!
