This festive holiday appetizer is as beautiful as it is easy. A bit like making a flower arrangement, you’ll have fun styling sprigs of hearty herbs into a lush green wreath, adorning it with green olive ornaments and the star of this appetizer: stuffed Peppadew peppers. Sweet, juicy, and a little spicy, these stuffed peppers are a perfect one bite snack that also happen to be a naturally festive shade of red.
For added flavor, the peppers are stuffed with a creamy and tangy goat cheese filling made with garlic and Parmesan. If you can’t find Peppadews at your local grocery store, substitute jarred sweet or hot pickled cherry peppers for the same bright red color and similar flavor.
For effortless entertaining, assemble the wreath in the morning before guests arrive and store it in the fridge until ready to serve. You can even prepare the goat cheese filling up to three days in advance and keep it in the refrigerator. Just remember to let it come to room temperature before piping.
