Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Mix together all the ingredients for the filling (3/4 cup Woolworths cream cheese, 1/2 zested lemon, 1/2 cup finely grated mozzarella, 1 tsp smoked chilli flakes, 1 tsp smoked paprika and 4 tbsp roughly chopped coriander) ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
  2. Carefully spoon the filling into the 6 chillies using a teaspoon. Wrap each stuffed pepper with 2 slices of bacon before securing with a toothpick to ensure it doesn’t unravel.
  3. Place on a baking tray before brushing each bacon wrapped pepper with the 1/2 cup of maple syrup. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
  4. Serve with  1 cup of sweet chilli sauce spiked with 4 tbsp srirracha sauce as a dip for the poppers.
