At the grocery store the other day, these orange peppadew peppers caught my eye:
Is it just me, or are these kinda burnt orange? They might not scream “hook ’em” to you, but to me, they look like perfect Longhorn party food. Stuffed peppadew peppers are a familiar item on tapas menus, and they’re quick and easy to assemble. I used a homemade boursin cheese made with goat cheese and cream cheese (which is also great with crackers), but there are loads of ideas for other stuffings out there.
Hook ’em!
Not a Longhorn fan? Topped with a pepper stem, they make cute little pumpkins, too!
