Spicy Pizza Pepper Poppers Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Halve the peppers lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the ribs and seeds. Leave the stem end intact. Set peppers aside. In a bowl, mix cream cheese/chevre, shredded mozz, shredded provolone, marinara, basil and garlic. Use a fork to cut ingredients together and finish mixing with a spoon. Once mixed, add pepperoni and mushrooms and stir together once again. Use a butter knife and fill each pepper half with the creamy, cheesy filling - Do not overfill.
Once all the peppers have been filled, they are ready for breading.
In a shallow bowl, beat eggs and milk for 20-30 seconds. In a second shallow bowl, sift bread crumbs, salt, dried oregano and pepper.
From your left to right, place these items:
Stuffed peppers
Egg wash
Bread crumbs
Cookie sheet

Drizzle olive oil on top of breaded peppers before placing them in 350 degree oven.
