Artichoke Dip Stuffed Peppers

I love experimenting with recipes and modifying ones I see on Pinterest. So last night I decided to use some ingredients that I had laying around to make a delicious new appetizer. I took these two recipes, artichoke dip and the stuffed peppers did some tweaking, and had a warm, healthy treat.

12-18 sweet mini peppers (halved and seeded)
1 head of garlic
1 can of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
4 oz of cream cheese
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp cracked pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded Italian cheese mix

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Halve and seed the peppers.

 

Mix the garlic, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, yogurt**, mayonnaise, pepper, and 1/2 the cheese together. 

 

Spoon the mixture into each of the pepper.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

 

**Mixture was a bit runnier than I would like, and I also think the flavor might have been better without the yogurt.  Next time, I think I will omit the yogurt and add some more cream cheese.
