Chutney & Cheese Peppers

I love quick and easy appetizers and if they include veggies, its a win win. I am obsessed with mini sweet peppers, I always have a bag in my refrigerator. They are perfect for snacking, I usually pair them with hummus, salads and curries.
These mini peppers when stuffed with Indian chutney and cheese, they are match made in heaven. The cheese when baked becomes gooeyy and the pepers soften. The chutney is the star of this dish as it adds an amazing kick. The combination is ultimate and tastes so delicious. My son had 4 peices and he had no idea that he was eating peppers.
You can serve these for appetizers or snack. The chutney can be made ahead of time and you wont believe it only took me 10 minutes to assemble these.
