These are a summer classic in our house especially when we have Hungarian hot peppers ready in the garden. I have also made this with sweet baby peppers or other mild varieties of peppers too. Above for the photo, I actually used sweet baby bell peppers. These are a quick and easy appetizer for any occasion.
Just be sure to warn your guests if you use hot HOT peppers!
